VMware Virtual File System

The VMware Virtual File System (VMFS) is a specialized storage system used by VMware to manage shared storage for virtual machines. It allows multiple virtual servers to access the same storage space simultaneously, enabling features like live migration and high availability. Think of it as a sophisticated, shared digital filing cabinet that ensures virtual machines can read and write data efficiently and securely across a network, helping businesses run multiple virtual servers smoothly on centralized storage resources.
