The more servers there are and the more shares each has makes it more tedious and frustrating for users to readily and easily locate the resources they need. Users may be required to remember the names of numerous shares and exactly which server a share is on.?In this situation, users may have difficulty keeping track of what shared data is where (even with the help of mapped drives).?What if the task of keeping track of what shares were where was simplified for the user. This would ease user access to shares? In addition, what if some redundancy was built into the shared folders so that we have multiple copies of Share1 spread across several servers, and similarly multiple copies of Share2 and so forth? Then, if one server fails or one share gets corrupted we have a backup copy, and if any copy share could be accessed automatically upon a failure, we have seamless support for the share structure. Add to this a Round Robin type access to the duplicated shares, and we also have a distributed load.?Users can now access a single hierarchy created by DFS, which can also provide share duplication and load distribution. Above, Share1, Share2, and Share3 are distributed. Share4 – Share9 are not yet distributed.?DFS offers the following benefits:Shared folders on a network appear in one hierarchy of folders created by a DFS Root with links. This simplifies user access.Fault tolerance is an option by replicating shared folders. Uses the Microsoft File Replication Service (FRS).Load balancing can be performed by distributing folder access across several servers.There are two DFS models as follows:StandaloneNo Active
