Mark works as a Network Administrator for NetTech Inc. The company has a Windows Server 2008
R2 domain-based network. The network consists of Windows Server 2008 R2 member server,
Windows 7, and Windows Vista client computers. The company has distributed network shares. All
shares are distributed over numerous servers, due to which employees face problems in accessing
shares from different locations. To resolve this issue, Mark implements Distributed file system (Dfs).
What are the advantages of Dfs? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.
A.
It improves system performance.
B.
It provides faster data recovery.
C.
It provides availability of the network files and folders.
D.
It provides server load sharing.
Explanation:
Distributed file system (Dfs) is a network server component that makes it easier for users to find files
and resources on distributed enterprise networks. It permits the linking of servers and shares into a
simpler, more meaningful name space. Dfs provides improved load sharing and data availability.
Distributed file system (Dfs) makes it easier for users to access files. Users have to go to only one
location on the network to access files, even if the files are physically spread across multiple servers.
It also provides replication, so that users retain access to their files even if one of the physical
servers, on which those files reside, becomes unavailable. Another benefit of replication is that a
single file can be accessed from more than one server. For example, when a file on a single server is
accessed heavily by users, thereby increasing the load on that server, Dfs ensures that user access to
the file is distributed to multiple servers.A and B are incorrect. Dfs neither improves system performance nor provides faster data
recovery.
