SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
The popular & ubiquitous Network File System (NFS) is a standard protocol that allows applications to store and manage data on a remote computer or server. NFS provides two services; a network part that connects users or clients to a remote system or server; and a file-based view of the data. Together these provide a seamless environment that masks the differences between local files and remote files.
This SNIA Ethernet Storage Forum Webcast is an introduction and overview presentation to NFS for technologists and tech managers interested in understanding:
- NFS history and development
- The facilities and services NFS provides
- Why NFS rose in popularity to dominate file based services
- Why NFS continues to be important in the cloud
