Data Sharing and Auditing
Data sharing helps in accessing various resources, such as file, folders, and hard drives, from different computers in a network. Sharing of resources prevents data redundancy, which means that the resources stored at one computer can be accessed by multiple computers on a network. You can prevent unauthorized access to the shared resources on a network using a process called Auditing. In addition, you can manage the disk space allocated to user accounts that access shared resources over the network using disk quotas.
