NAS Network Access Storage

What is NAS?
2
Network Attached Storage (commonly abbreviated to
NAS) are hard disk storage devices which you can
connect to your home or office network. They
enable multiple computers in a network to share
the same storage space at once.
ccess to the NAS device is over a computer
network (usually via TCP/IP) rather than being
directly connected to the computer (as in
internal hard drives or external USB/SCSI drives).

Why use NAS?
Three main advantages for using
NAS Expandability Simply add another NAS device
to expand the available storage if you need more
storage space. Fault tolerance NAS brings an
extra level of fault tolerance to your network.
Fault tolerant measures such as RAID prevent the
NAS device from becoming a point of failure. NAS
systems often contain more than one hard disk
drive they are arranged into logical, redundant
storage containers or RAID arrays for added
redundancy/security thus, protecting data in
the case of disk failure. File sharing Whether
you are a home, small office or business user,
NAS devices allow you to share large amounts of
data with other PCs or laptops in your network
easily, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
