Abstract
Distributed filesystems and global namespaces are becoming a more common genus in the enterprise ecology. Using the Microsoft DFS species as an example, we''ll explore the generic concepts behind these creatures and dissect the DFS species to help us understand some of the specifics.
Learning Objectives:
A solid understanding of distributed filesystems and global namespaces from a high level
An understanding of the important and relevant exchanges in the DFS protocol specifically and how this relates to the enterprise
Some generic use cases for distributed filesystems
