Easy installation makes this software even simpler. Scalable From PCs to mainframes, NFS is the single networking software that can scale the enterprise. With NFS, your users will have easy access to files and resources throughout the network. Now PC users can mount file systems on a mainframe located halfway around the world as easily as a PC server in their department. Only NFS offers this unparalleled breadth of access.
Users have visibility to the entire network.
The NFS exclusive automounter feature makes networking even easier, enabling users to access files without having to know where they are located. With automounter, you can define mount points without regard to their actual location on the network. Automount maps provide the links between file system names and their actual locations. You can even use logical names in automounter maps to make resources more obvious, and therefore easily located. These maps provide users with the appearance of a single home directory, which in reality may include files and applications on multiple servers in many locations.
