approximately 90 percent during peak hours.
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager is used to deploy updates to all of the client computers.
Existing Network Infrastructure
Each office has several file servers. The file servers have a limited amount of storage space. Users access
the data on all of the file servers.
Each branch office has a WAN link to the main office. Users in the branch office frequently access thefile
