Concept of Distributed File System

A distributed file system allows clients to access and process data stored on remote servers as if it were local. The server sends a copy of the requested file to the client, which is cached locally during processing before being returned to the server. Examples of distributed file systems include SUN NFS, AFS, CORBA, and Hadoop. Distributed file systems make it convenient to share files across a network between users.

Computer Server:-provide interface to which client
can send request perform an action server send back
result to client.
File Server.:-Provide a file system interface where
client create update & delete file
characteristics of DFS
Transparency…
User mobility…
Simplicity and ease of use…
Advantage of DFS
Resource sharing.
Computation speed up
Reliability
Communication emails
