| | File system |
 | | A disk file system is a file system designed for the storage of files on a disk drive, which might be directly or indirectly connected to the computer. | | | In computing, a file system is a method for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them. | | | A network file system is a file system where the files are accessed over a network, potentially simultaneously by several computers. |

| | Andrew File System |
| | The UNIX file system is used as a low-level storage system for both servers and clients. | | | Opening a file causes it to be cached, in its entirety, on the local disk. | | | The data cache is resident on the local disk, but the UNIX I/O buffering mechanism does some caching of the disk blocks in memory that are transparent to Venus. |

| | AFS - Andrew File System |
| | AFS is a network-based file system, formerly called the Andrew file system because it was created at Carnegie-Mellon University, and named after that university's founder. AFS enables users to move, save, and otherwise use files on the network as though they were on their desktop. | | | This distributed file system software makes it possible for users to access information located on any computer in a network. | | | Andrew File System is a distributed file system created in the Carnegie Mellon University Andrew Project, and, later, a software product of Transarc Corporation, IBM, and OpenAFS. |

| | The basic idea of AFS is that all users of a network get a common picture of the file system even though it represents data that's stored on many different machines. | | | Designed to handle terabytes of data and thousands of users distributed across large networks, the Andrew File System (AFS) works as a Unix and Windows NT add-on that replaces the standard Network File System (NFS). | | | Yet given the ever-increasing sales of computers and their voracious disk appetites, mature solutions to medium- and large-scale computing sites will be needed by more and more people. |
