# File Systems

## Overview

TIR provides two types of file systems designed for different collaboration and performance needs:

- **Shared File System (SFS):** Shared storage that multiple nodes can access at the same time. Ideal for distributed computing and team collaboration.
- **Parallel File System (PFS):** High-performance storage optimized for parallel I/O operations. Perfect for HPC workloads and multi-node training that require maximum throughput.

### When to Use Each

| File System | Best For | Key Benefit |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **SFS** | Distributed apps, shared workspaces | Concurrent access from multiple nodes |
| **PFS** | HPC workloads, multi-node training, large-scale parallel processing | Optimized for parallel I/O, high throughput |
