The network file server (NFS) protocol provides an open standard for giving clients remote access to file systems. NFS allows administrators to create centralized file systems that ease management tasks such as backups and virus checking.

Besides lending itself to centralized storage, NFS has also proven itself useful in other applications such as diskless and thin clients, network clustering, and cross-platform interoperability applications.
