NetWare Directory Services has that orientation. The key words are global, distributed, and replicated. Global refers to the fact that entries in the NetWare Directory database are known to the entire network. This setup ensures that, in the event of a file server crash, the NetWare Directory isn't lost. This tree structure also closely mimics the organizational charts of most companies, which permits network administrators to build a structure of account names that closely matches the company's organizational chart.
Objects can be either physical or logical.
Some examples of physical objects are users and printers. Groups and print queues are logical objects. Container objects are so named because they contain one or more other objects. Some examples of leaf objects include users, NetWare servers, volumes, and print queues. An object consists of categories of information, called properties.
