Network File System
(redirected from Parallel file system)

    Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
(networking, operating system)Network File System - (NFS) A protocol developed by Sun Microsystems, and defined in RFC 1094, which allows a computer to access files over a network as if they were on its local disks. This protocol has been incorporated in products by more than two hundred companies, and is now a de facto standard. NFS is implemented using a connectionless protocol (UDP) in order to make it stateless.
