Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 83

Which file system uses only UNIX systems for a client-server application protocol and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) for file sharing?

Answer options

• A. New Technology File System (NTFS)
• B. Common Internet File System (CIFS)
• C. Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)
• D. Network File System (NFS)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Network File System (NFS), as it was specifically designed for UNIX systems to facilitate file sharing over a network using RPC. The other options, NTFS, CIFS, and HDFS, are either designed for different operating systems or serve different purposes, making them unsuitable for the criteria outlined in the question.
