pNFS
Parallel NFS (pNFS) is a part of the NFS v4.1 standard that allows compute clients to access storage devices directly and in parallel. The pNFS architecture eliminates the scalability and performance issues associated with typical NFS servers deployed today. This is achieved by the separation of data and metadata, and moving the metadata server out of the data path creating systems well-suited for data-intensive HPC and AI applications.
