DECdfs (Distributed File System)
DECdfs allow for sharing file resources to OpenVMS systems running DECdfs and using them on these systems.
DECdfs for OpenVMS provides OpenVMS users with the ability to use remote OpenVMS for VAX, Alpha, and Integrity server disks as if they were directly attached to the local OpenVMS system.
DECdfs software provides users and applications with transparent, high performance file access while using fewer CPU resources than standard DECnet for OpenVMS and DECnet-Plus file access.
Systems running DECdfs software can act as "servers", or "clients", or both. DECdfs servers make file resources available to systems running DECdfs client software. DECdfs clients are able to use file resources of systems running DECdfs server software. The file resources accessible through DECdfs can range in scope from a master file directory and all of its subordinate directories and files on a disk volume to an individual file. The DECdfs server software assigns a unique name to the resource to be shared.
DECdfs has the ability to use DECdns when available or a local DFS server database.
