A single entity; SQL Server allows for multiple files on multiple drives, but still represents your DB as a single file. You do not even have to care on what drive your record gets stored, that's a problem for the database.
Instead of querying the FS and reading files, you suddenly need not care.

All you need to care about is the SQL language to manage your data. That was small revolution!! And yes, it is a Data Abstraction Layer. It abstracts away the storing of data from the OS to a uniform platform that can be queried with the SQL language.
