A DFS namespace enables you to group shared folders that are located on different servers into one or more logically structured namespaces.  Each namespace appears to users as a single shared folder with a series of subfolders.  However, the underlying structure of the namespace can consist of numerous file shares that are located on different servers and in multiple sites.  See DFS Namespaces for more information about the benefits of using DFS namespaces in PeerGFS.

PeerGFS enables you to create a namespace and manage various activities related to it, such as creating namespace folders, adding folder targets, and linking the namespace to a File Collaboration or File Synchronization job.  You could manage DFS namespace using Microsoft tools; however, you can manage DFS namespaces through a dedicated job type in Peer Management Center, the DFS-N Management job.
