VNFS

Virtual Network File Server

VNFS is a unique feature of TerraVivo which appears to the network to be another NFS server. However, VNFS does not necessarily serve real files. Instead, VNFS can create "virtual" files on the fly from existing files or computed information. So VNFS can:

Make a single file appear in multiple formats
Make parts of a file appear as multiple files
Create hierarchical views of a file (or files) using subdirectories
Combine multiple files into one
Compute results on the fly and present them as virtual files.
etc...
