About NFS
NFS acceleration provides latency optimization by prefetching data, storing it on the client-side SteelHead for a short time, and then using it to respond to client requests. Best suited for high-latency environments.
When configured on a server-side appliance, NFS settings are ignored until the appliance connects to an NFS server. Upon connecting, the server-side appliance uploads the NFS configuration information for the connection from the client-side appliance.
NFS settings apply to all servers and volumes, but you can configure overrides for specific servers or volumes. Override settings for a server are applied to all volumes on that server, unless you further configure volume-specific overrides.
NFS acceleration doesn’t support out-of-path deployments. Latency optimization is not supported for NFS versions 2 and 4, but bandwidth, SDR, and LZ compression are supported.
