Network Attached Storage

About NAS Storage

NAS (Network Attached Storage) storage is a type of data storage that is designed to provide file-level access to data over a computer network. In NAS storage, one or more storage devices, typically hard disk drives or solid-state drives, are connected to a network and made available to clients as shared folders or network drives.

NAS Storage is connected to a network, allowing multiple users to access and share the same data. This makes it an ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses, home offices, and other organizations that require shared access to data and files.

NAS storage provides several advantages over traditional direct-attached storage (DAS) and storage area network (SAN) architectures. First, NAS storage is easier to manage, as it can be easily accessed and shared over a network. Second, NAS storage is highly scalable, as additional storage devices can be added to the network to increase storage capacity and performance. Finally, NAS storage is typically more cost-effective than SAN storage, as it uses standard Ethernet networking equipment rather than specialized Fibre Channel infrastructure.
