NFS allows pieces of directory heirarchies to be exported and imported from and to workstation user directory structures to enable these structures to transparently span disks and systems. This means that what appears to you as a single directory structure may actually span several disk drives on several different workstations.

NFS is independent of machine types, operating systems, and network architectures through the use of remote procedure calls (RPC).

This directory hierarchy is crossmounted onto other systems to allow access to the source code and configuration files. This provides a single repository for the software.
