Many methods of using computer networks for data storage have come up in recent years. The most common and popular approach which I personally prefer is the network attached storage (NAS).NAS allows businesses more affordably that before to store and retrieve large amounts of data. Most businesses do not consider the future expansion of their companies when creating their network solutions and end up exhausting their network resources. The increase in the data capacities of the electronic components used in today business world has led to the demand for a more convenient storage type. The ability to use a file server to store files has led to companies deploying large centralized NFS servers which are accessed by thousands of clients. Central file servers are seen as the basic solution to demands put forward. A file server is in basic terms a workstation or a personal computer hardware running on a network operating system (NOS).The NOS in this case boasts file sharing capabilities. The hard drives installed in the computers are used to provide the required storage space ranging from gigabytes to terabytes of memory space depending on the size of business. Many business owners are not justified by the use of a fully general-purpose computer as a server for simple storage services. This factor brought to the development of the network attached storage (NAS).
NAS creates a system that is specifically designed for data storage unlike the traditional file server approach.NAS design begins with the basic components needed for a file server. Just like the traditional file server system, NAS follows the client/server design approach. In its design a single device hard ware called the NAS box is used to act as an interface between the network clients and the NAS. Unlike the
