Explanation
NFS (Network File System) is an open, nonproprietary protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems and standardized through RFC. It enables file-level access to NAS (Network-Attached Storage) devices across a network, primarily in Unix/Linux environments. SMB is Microsoft-oriented and largely proprietary in origin. iSCSI and FCoE are block-level storage protocols (used for SANs), not file-level NAS access protocols. NFS is the standard nonproprietary choice for NAS.
