File Sharing with the Texas Memory Systems RAM-SAN

Traditional file systems are either unable or ineffective at supporting file sharing. The few file systems that support file sharing, such as NFS, rely on the LAN for moving files around to different host machines.

These problems force system designers to use direct attached storage in situations where file sharing would be more efficient or to accept that the file servers will slow users down.
