All large organizations end up with different systems running on different platforms.

The systems are interconnected and need to be integrated. 
Integrate/reduce the number of differences -- as much as possible.

Support plug-N-play with media streaming and image architecture, enabling support for a wide
variety of scanners, plotters, digital cameras, image-capturing equipment, and more.


Storage and File System Services

list the key services expected to affect admin routines and how you view both file and storage services in the future:
- Disk Administrator
- Removable Storage
- Remote Storage

Disk Administrator

wServer supports dynamic disks and enables merged volumes.
wServer extends volumes across multiple disks.
Software RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) support is built in to a much-improved disk-management utility that is an MMC.

control RAID volumes and manage the volumes without a need to reboot the server.
The MMC connect to any remote server and manages the hard-disk resources as if they were local.


Removable Storage
- Manage removable-storage media -- like tape drives and other removable media.
- Create media pools -- assigned to various backup regimens and removable storage routines.

Remote Storage

Remote Storage moves files that are no longer accessed or used by the user or local process to removable storage media. An active file marker is used in the place of the file with the data.
This service thus frees up hard-disk space on demand by looking at which files can be relocated.
If the user requires the files, they are returned from remote storage.
