Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Not to be confused with storage area networks (SANs), network attached storage (NAS) is a hard disk storage with its own IP address attached to a LAN. The benefit of network attached storage is that NAS allows many computers to access the same set of files over a network. Organizations can implement NAS on their own, or integrate network attached storage as part of a more sophisticated storage area network architecture.

NAS: Centralize & Simplify

Depending on the network speed, cache memory, or design of the NAS device, network attached storage can increase performance and reliability since NAS does not compete with a designated server's processor resources. In addition to allowing multiple system storage sharing, network attached storage centralizes and simplifies storage management, replaces direct attached storage, and reduces operating costs.

GreenPages partners with today's leading manufacturers of NAS technology applications and hardware. Our network attached storage experts have the talent to design a cost-effective NAS solution that streamlines and centralizes the most complex storage architecture initiatives.
