Is there an alternative to use of NFS in SAP Installations

Hello All,

My customer is very concerned about the use of NFS in his landscape. I am planning a build of a new application server on a seperate UNIX box as the existing box has maxed out (capacity wise).

The new dialog application server would need to share interface directories , sapmnt etc , however the IT Security policy at our customer end prohibits NFS mounts

Now that application server could run with its own set of profiles and kernel directories , however sharing the interface directory should be mandatory.

I am wondering if there is any alternative to this ?

Regards,
