- Published: September 2005
- Region: World
Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a file-level storage that provides data access to multiple clients over a network. A NAS system is primarily deployed to handle files, rather than a block data. Thus, NAS has the ability to reduce management overheads and prevent network latency. Further, NAS is easily accessible over a LAN through protocols like TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol).
The implementation of NAS allows organizations to share a common storage with multiple servers and clients, irrespective of their file or operating system. Further, NAS enables organizations to efficiently allocate storage, and alleviates the problem of one server running out of storage while the other having more than required. In addition, NAS enables the organizations to locate storage where it's needed on the network, and provides clients with direct, server independent communication to storage resources. Furthermore, the localizing of file Input/Output traffic provides more efficient use of network resources. Moreover, since NAS devices connects directly to the organization's existing LAN (Local Area Network), no additional software or client licenses are required for
