Windows 2000 Server provides storage services designed to improve both reliability and user access. Table A.9 highlights these services.
Table A.9 Storage Management
| Feature | Role of this feature within my organization |
|---|---|
| Remote Storage
Monitors the amount of space available on a local hard disk. When free space on the primary hard disk drops below the level necessary for reliable operation, Remote Storage removes local data that has been copied to remote storage. |
|
| Removable Storage
Allows administrators to manage removable storage devices and functions. Administrators can create media pools that are owned and used by a given application. |
|
| NTFS file system enhancements
Supports performance enhancements such as file encryption, the ability to add disk space to an NTFS volume without restarting, distributed link tracking, and per-user volume quotas to monitor and limit disk space use. |
|
| Disk Quotas
Helps administrators plan for and implement disk use. |
|
| Backup
With Backup, users can back up data to a variety of storage media, including hard drives, and magnetic and optical media. |
|
| Distributed file system (Dfs) support
Allows administrators to create a single directory tree that includes multiple file servers and file shares and allows interoperability between Windows 2000 clients and any file server that has a matching protocol. |
