Implementing Network File System Protocol for Highly Available Clustered Applications on Network Attached Storage

This paper introduces method for implementing NFS protocol for larger block/network packets transfer over to NAS [Network Attached Storage] from Highly Available clients. NAS storage scalability is habitually inadequate to the volume of the appliance. Addition of an appliance is reasonably easy, but access to the pooled contents as a mono entity is not. In this approach, NAS supports file sharing between multiple peer clients serving on highly available cluster services, NAS clients can potentially access file shares from anywhere in the organization. Because file access is, typically low volume and less sensitive to response times, predictable performance and distance are less of a concern in NAS implementations.
