You're the IT administrator for CSM tech Publishing. You've just had a meeting with the general manager about some data storage problems the company has been having. You've been asked to find solutions for the following problems.
Two satellite offices have been complaining about slow access to shared files on the servers at the company's headquarters. One office has about 25 client computers running windows 8.1, and there's one server running Windows Server 2012 R2 that provides DHCP and DNS services but isn't heavily loaded. The other office has only four client machines running Windows 8.1. there's no budget for additional hardware at either location.
You have a database application that has been exhibiting poor performance caused by latency from the drives it uses for storage. The storage system uses Storage Space and consists of four 200 GB HDDs. You have been asked to see what you can do to improve the performance of the storage used by the database application. You have a limited budget for the project-certainly not enough for a new server but probably enough for some new components.
What solutions do you propose for these two file and storage problems? Include implementation details.
