Network Attached Storage (NAS)
Network Attached Storage (NAS)
NAS is a small device holding large amounts of storage space (hard drives) which is available to users on a network. Inbuilt functionality includes basic user permissions for folders, fail safe hard drives for data protection (RAID), and USB connectivity for backup. Other than that
, they bear little comparison to a server. But if this is all you require for a small SOHO network, then a NAS may be for you - and at a considerably cheaper price!
Similarly you may be an operation that stores large amounts of data such as a graphic design house. NAS devices provide the perfect 'plug and forget' solution that can store terabytes of data.
There are various NAS drives currently on the market, with varying functionality and pricing so it is best to contact us for more information.
