NetWare is a multitasking operating system that provides the high performance necessary for network computing. NetWare is faster and more efficient than network operating systems that run on top of general-purpose operating systems because it accesses the server's CPU directly. The NetWare Universal File System provides a variety of features that improve performance. It employs indexed file allocation tables (Turbo FATs) on large files to substantially improve the speed of disk reads. It also uses directory caching, file caching, and directory hashing to decrease the time required to read and write information. NetWare uses a disk access technique called "elevator seeking" to efficiently service multiple disk requests. This technique enables the disk read/write head to pick up files in the direction in which the head is traveling across the disk, increasing disk throughput and reducing wear on disk components. Split seeks, in which data is read from the first available hard disk regardless of whether it is the primary disk, are also implemented automatically. Furthermore, NetWare improves data access and storage speeds by using data-scattering technology to spread data over multiple hard disks.
