Figure 1-31 Example of default partitions
The tree of partitions is transparent to Directory users (unless they are
running Partition Manager); users usually see only a global tree of Directory
objects.
To optimize access to different areas of the Directory, each partition can be
replicated and stored at many locations.
Partition replication improves access and provides the Directory with fault
tolerance. Since a partition can be replicated at several locations, damage to
one of the replicas does not need to interrupt access to the partition
information.
