| comp., MS | DFS topology | DFS 拓扑 (The overall logical hierarchy of the Distributed File System (DFS), including elements such as roots, links, shared folders, and replica sets, as depicted in the DFS administrative console. This is not to be confused with the DFS namespace, which is the logical view of shared resources seen by users) |
| comp., MS | hub-spoke topology | 中心辐射型拓扑 (A topology based on a central hub, from which nodes radiate in a star-shaped pattern) |
| comp., MS | intersite topology generator | 站点间拓扑生成器 (A server in an Active Directory architecture that is responsible for managing the inbound replication connection objects for all the server contact points in the server's site) |
| comp., MS | multiple forest topology | 多级林拓扑结构 (A topology that includes more than one Active Directory forest, each of which forest can have one or more trees) |
| comp., MS | multiple-tree forest topology | 多级树状林拓扑结构 (A network topology in which multiple Active Directory trees exist in a single forest) |
| comp., MS | replica set topology | 副本集拓扑 (The order in which changes are propagated from replica to replica. Topology determines how quickly changes in another replica appear in your replica) |
| comp., MS | replication topology | 复制拓扑 (In the File Replication service (FRS), the interconnections between replica set members. These interconnections determine the path that data takes as it replicates to all replica set members) |
| comp., MS | ring topology | 环形拓扑 (A LAN (local area network) in which devices (nodes) are connected in a closed loop, or ring. Messages in a ring network pass around the ring from node to node in one direction. When a node receives a message, it examines the destination address attached to the message. If the address is the same as the node's, the node accepts the message; otherwise, it regenerates the signal and passes the message along to the next node in the ring. Such regeneration allows a ring network to cover larger distances than star and bus networks. The ring can also be designed to bypass any malfunctioning or failed node. Because of the closed loop, however, adding new nodes can be difficult) |
| comp., MS | server topology | 服务器拓扑 (A graphical depiction of the configuration or arrangement of (usually conceptual) servers, including connecting lines) |
| comp., MS | service topology | 服务拓扑 (The number of instances of a role to run for a Windows Azure hosted service, as defined by the service configuration file) |
| comp., MS | Topology Builder | 拓扑生成器 (An installation component of Lync Server used to display, adjust, and validate a planned topology) |
