The Full Form of VMFS is Virtual Machine File System.
VMFS (Virtual Machine File System) is a clustered file system from VMware that provides storage virtualization. VMFS offers many virtalization-based features, such as:
VMFS can be created on three types of SCSI-based storage systems: direct-attached storage, FC storage, and iSCSI storage. A virtual disk stored on a VMFS datastore will appear to the virtual machine as a mounted SCSI device. The operating system running inside the VM will see its native file system, not VMFS.
The current VMFS version is VMFS-5. This version uses 1MB block size and can support VMDK files of up to 62TB. You can have up to 256 VMFS datastores per host, with the maximum size of 64TB.
