Network Attached Storage (NAS)
Posted on June 11th, 2014
Growing business? More and more resources being used up with media files and other like minded data rich components. Is your IT structure out of date but the thought of replacing it confuses the IT guy, do you have one? and frightens the Finance manager. Then maybe it’s time to take a look at a NAS solution for your business needs.
NAS is all things good for a SMB and will meet your expectations.
NAS is a shared storage on a network infrastructure which protects and centralises data safely. Allows access home and away 24×7. Manages users in a controlled and secure environment. Can be integrated with Cloud or tape based storage, allowing the HD drive capacity to be freed up allowing your system to grow infinitely. All this whilst being cost effective and a solid back up process.
NAS is reliable, supported with RAID which ensures your valuable data is protected and you can still access all data immediately. (Different levels of protection. RAID 0, data is stripped across all physical drives to improve access times. RAID 1, a second set of drives duplicates the data from the first thereby maximising protection. RAID 5, distributes the data across all drives and can withstand the loss of one drive thereby providing full drive integrity.)
NAS is simple, easy to install. An IT department is not needed. It works in today’s ‘plug and play’ world. Installation via intuitive software programs guides you into managing and using the system to your liking. Whether it is just you or a company of 50, a NAS solution can be implemented quickly and easily, to maintain your critical data and allow one place to store files.
Remember, NAS is a dedicated storage solution. This enables servers and networks to work at optimum without being tied up with downloads and data storage. You can have a cost effective way of maintaining your data thereby eliminating any needs to expand your server for data requirements.
What are your solution needs? Understand your capacity requirements both now and in the future. NAS systems range from 1TB to over 100TB. Important to remember that actual data available is far less than total actual capacity of the HDD units. You can have single units to 2
0 slot loaders. Where do you want it? Desktop or rackmounted? Options exist for both.
