 Network
Attached Storage devices range in price from about $150
up to as much as many, many thousands of dollars. It all depends
on the amount of storage you desire and how important reliability
is from your network attached storage device. As you can see
NAS devices can fit into the setup of a home user or
they may be required by large corporations to store valuable
data.
The main purpose of network attached storage is to
allow multiple users access to shared files and data at one
central location. The main advantage to network attached storage
systems over traditional server storage is increased reliability
because a server crash will not imped access to the storage
device.
In server environments network attached storage devices can
allow clusters of email, web, database or application servers
to work together by sharing a common storage device. |
