- Configure a Distributed File System (DFS) environment in Windows Server 2003
- Windows 2000 introduced Distributed File System DFS, which allows you to consolidate file shares so users can access them from a single point on the network. Windows Server 2003 improved the technology to include WAN replication, allowing DFS points to exist across WAN links. In this tip, I will explain...

- Applying Mainframe Experience to the Distributed Environment
- Mainframes and distributed systems, previously looked at as separate entities, are now rapidly coming together into a single, distributed IT environment. As a result, people from two previously separate and very different cultures - mainframe and distributed - are coming together to architect, develop, and manage the resulting unified infrastructure....

- Don't Give Up on Distributed File Systems
- Wide-area distributed applications often reinvent the wheel for their storage needs, each incorporating its own special-purpose storage manager to cope with distribution, intermittent failures, limited bandwidth, and high latencies. This paper argues that a distributed file system could provide a reusable solution to these problems by coupling a standard interface...
