6.6 CIFS Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a file-based storage system based on SMB. SMB is a shared storage protocol typically used in Microsoft environments for file sharing. Windows-based file shares rely on CIFS as the transfer protocol of the file level data. File-based storage relies on an underlying files system such as FAT32, XFS, NTFS or otherwise which differs from block-based storage which does not. File level storage is an excellent medium for some applications but is not traditionally effective in others. When an application needs direct block access to disk file-based storage is not appropriate. Deployments that fall into this category include some databases and most Operating Systems. 15 Dell EMC Networking OS10 Enterprise Edition Storage Overview

CIFS

Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a file-based storage system based on SMB. SMB is a shared storage

protocol typically used in Microsoft environments for file sharing. Windows-based file shares rely on CIFS as

the transfer protocol of the file level data. File-based storage relies on an underlying files system such as

FAT32, XFS, NTFS or otherwise which differs from block-based storage which does not. File level storage is

an excellent medium for some applications but is not traditionally effective in others. When an application

needs direct block access to disk file-based storage is not appropriate. Deployments that fall into this category

include some databases and most Operating Systems.
