Network Attached Storage

Network attached storage systems; NAS for short, also network storage, are file servers to be managed without special knowledge and work independently and without a dedicated host computer or host server. They enable access in the local network in order to be able to provide independent additional capacities for data storage and data exchange in the network with little effort. Experience has shown that particularly easy integration into an existing network makes NAS devices interesting for small businesses or companies and private households (home servers). The scope of NAS devices ranges from systems with single data carriers to configurations with multiple hard drives in JBOD or different RAID levels (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6).
