What does NFS stand for?

Network File System
Network Function System
Network File Storage
Network Function Storage

The correct answer is: Network File System

NFS stands for Network File System, which is a distributed file system protocol commonly used in UNIX and Linux environments to allow a user on a client computer to access files over a network in the same way they access local storage. NFS enables sharing of directories and files and allows for easy data management across multiple systems. It operates on the client-server model, facilitating the sharing of files between devices connected over a network, without requiring users to understand the complexities of the underlying network protocols. The other options do not accurately describe NFS. "Network Function System" suggests a different context that is not related to file sharing, while "Network File Storage" and "Network Function Storage" imply storage solutions that lack the specific functionality and architecture detailed in the original NFS.
