I know there is no such thing as a stupid question, so I hope you will be gentle. :)
I have a good background in desktop computers, but little in server technology. I have tried googling for an answer, but my lack of technical understanding is getting in the way of finding an answer. So, this is the question: Can server technology be used to access multiple computers with multiple disk drives in such a way that the actual location of the file is transparent to the user/client machine? For instance, let's say you have four "server" computers in a "cluster" (?) (A, B, C, and D) set up with four disks each (1, 2, 3, and 4) for a total of 16 disk drives. Can a user then request the file xyz.doc from the server and have it automatically retrieve the file from say computer A, drive 2? Thanks for your help with this question.
