Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems (Sun) in 1984, [1] allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage is accessed.
Some researchers have made a functional and experimental analysis of several distributed file systems including HDFS, Ceph, Gluster, Lustre and old (1.6.x) version of MooseFS, although this document is from 2013 and a lot of information are outdated (e.g. MooseFS had no HA for Metadata Server at that time).
MapR FS is a distributed high-performance file system that exhibits file, table and messaging APIs. Microsoft Office Groove shared workspace, used for DoHyki; NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) from Novell is used in networks based on NetWare. Network File System (NFS) originally from Sun Microsystems is the standard in UNIX
The Andrew File System heavily influenced Version 4 of Sun Microsystems' popular Network File System (NFS). Additionally, a variant of AFS, the DCE Distributed File System (DFS) was adopted by the Open Software Foundation in 1989 as part of their Distributed Computing Environment. Finally AFS (version two) was the predecessor of the Coda file ...

Distributed file systems may aim for "transparency" in a number of aspects. That is, they aim to be "invisible" to client programs, which "see" a system which is similar to a local file system. Behind the scenes, the distributed file system handles locating files, transporting data, and potentially providing other features listed below.
A UNIX United system constructed with the Newcastle Connection is functionally indistinguishable from a centralised UNIX system at the system-call level. [ 4 ] In essence, the concept of the "parent directory" was re-interpreted at the root of the filesystem, where it originally had no significant meaning, to mean "this directory is on a remote ...
The Network Information Service, or NIS (originally called Yellow Pages or YP), is a client–server directory service protocol for distributing system configuration data such as user and host names between computers on a computer network. Sun Microsystems developed the NIS; the technology is licensed to virtually all other Unix vendors.
