Contoso must meet the following storage requirements:
Improve data availability on the file servers.
Improve the performance of the file servers.
Limit each user’s storage space on the file serversto 2 GB.
Prevent users from storing audio and video files onthe file servers.
Provide additional storage on the file servers without causing downtime.
Enable users to access the previous versions of allthe files stored on the file servers.
Technical Requirements
