NAS (Network Attached Storage)

(Network Attached Storage) Is a hard disk storage device that is set up with its own network address rather than being attached directly to the computer that is serving.

The purpose of a NAS server is to store large amounts of data over a network enabling multiple users to share the same storage space simultaneously. Clients can then all access the NAS as another drive on the network, which can be set-up to have different permission levels and access.

A NAS saves data in file format rather than block format as is the case with a SAN.

One advantage of a NAS is that it is capable of storing files regardless of operating systems, allowing a network consisting of clients using a range of operating systems to all store data to a single NAS server.

Another advantage of a NAS is that overheads are reduced because all storage is centralised.

NAS systems can be built up to 24TB of storage capacity. All of our NAS systems are fully customisable to your ideal specification.
