Applications of File Server: In a File Server, each user gets a dedicated Functional Drive in the server which can be used as data backup of their desktop system or an additional storage space. Public/Common Drives are also allocated to individual users for shared accessibility of files/folders with other workgroup users without encroaching on individual computer disk space. Category drives such as Departmental Drive can be set up for controlled sharing among authorized personnel. Other purpose-driven drives can also be created for designated operational purposes. SMeSERVER is scalable with multi-tier security capability that can be designed to meet workgroup users' needs and requirements. | | | Background Analysis | | Desktop Systems vs Server | It is common to see many SMEs with a few computers to share files through peer-to-peer and/or entry-level switch connections. Such connectivity literally does no more than mere file/folders sharing among desktop systems. Essentially, data are executed, stored and shared out from user desktop systems putting strain on the processing memory of individual computers and subject the systems to slower processing speed but faster wear and tear. Virus migration from one infected system to another is also happening. There is also a total absence of data security functionality and a lack of scalability capability when the company grows or when the pool of users expand. |
