HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric loopbacknfs POSIX Client
Explains the differences between the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric POSIX client and the Linux native NFS client.
The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric POSIX
Client feature allows app servers, web servers, and other client nodes and apps to read and
write directly to a HPE Ezmeral Data
Fabric cluster. Starting with the 4.0.2 release, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric provides single-user
loopbacknfs
licenses that give access to one or more clusters.

The Linux OS NFS client must go through an NFS gateway, the link to the gateway is not secured, and transmitted data is not compressed.
The following diagram illustrates how the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric POSIX client
(mapr-loopbacknfs
