What are key applications for NAS?
NAS is excellent for video storage ued in surveillance systems. It is also used for workgroup backup and shared data storage. It can also be used as a storage appliance for individual back-up and data repository. Another common application is to use NAS in remote offices. Typical file servers represent a lot of overhead (cost), particularly in terms of technical resources. With the NAS you don’t need a storage administrator, so you can implement shared storage with confidence, at a lower cost. Additional cost savings are achieved because you no longer have to use expensive WAN connections to a file server at the central corporate site in order to back up or share data. It can all be local.
