1. A method comprising:
- interfacing to an application having parameters and a data file of an arbitrary size using an application programming interface (API);
externalizing the data file using a common externalizing provider; and
communicating with an application network storage (ANS) subsystem using the API such that the data file is saved according to the parameters of the application and the arbitrary size of the data file.

Abstract
An application programming interface (API) interfaces to an application having a data file of an arbitrary size. The application has parameters characterizing the application. An externalizing provider externalizes the data file. An application network storage (ANS) subsystem saves the data file according to the parameters of the application and the arbitrary size of the data file.
