With Dfs, a network administrator can build a hierarchical file system that spans the organization's LANs and ) architecture. The DFS architecture allows users to scale systems based on load requirements. The DFS design operates on widely-available, industry standard system configurations, allowing low cost scalability. Sid Hebert, EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) A security system for preventing theft in retail stores that uses disposable label tags or reusable hard tags attached to the merchandise. Technologies' director of technical operations, said, "LMPlus PRO's DFS-based architecture is a superior approach because it performs very efficiently on the client, database and network." Other client/server offerings of time and attendance applications place functionality onto the database server where processing power is available. While this approach provides the needed processing utilization, Hebert said, it also has a significant limitation - it adds considerable workload on the database server during peak hours peak hours npl, peak period n → horas fpl punta peak hours peak npl → heures fpl d'affluence or de pointe . Said Hebert, "The DFS approach of LMPlus PRO 4.0 separates the product presentation, functionality and data operation layers into distinct operating environments. The result is a system that is more scalable, dynamic and easier to maintain." The DFS architecture was designed to provide scheduling capabilities for DFS enabled operations, Hebert added. This feature, often found only in complex mini and mainframe applications, is provided standard with the system. Year 2000-compliant, LMPlus PRO is a fourth generation client/server release, leveraging EAS Technologies' leadership in client/server development, implementation and support. LMPlus PRO is a flexible solution appropriate for a wide variety of environments and particularly suited to the energy, high-technology manufacturing, finance, or communication industries, as well as large professional organizations such as engineering, legal or accounting services.
