The advantages of Network Attached Storage over conventional server-attached storage can be summed up in three words: economy, speed, and ease. The NAS device sits on the network and is optimized for a single purpose: to pump data to users efficiently without the overhead and complexity of general-purpose servers.  NAS devices can produce improved file access performance at a substantially lower cost than general-purpose network servers. When factoring in the additional cost savings generated with plug-and-play installation that literally takes just minutes and ongoing reduced management costs. 

NAS is often contrasted with SANs, but NAS is actually under the "storage network" umbrella. The major difference is that the SAN is channel attached, and the NAS is network attached.  Adding or removing a NAS system is like adding or removing any network node.

NAS -Primarily designed to provide access at the file level. Organizations working on LANs consider NAS the most economical addition to storage.

DAS or SAN - Optimized for high-volume block-orientated data transfers.

 

What is a NAS, SAN, RAID, Logical Drive ....

NAS: File-Level Data Sharing Across the Enterprise

NAS is a special purpose device, comprised of both hard disks and management software, which is 100% dedicated to serving files over a network. A server has the dual functions of file sharing and application serving in the DAS model, potentially causing network slowdowns. NAS relieves the server of storage and file serving responsibilities, and provides a lot more flexibility in data access by virtue of being independent.

NAS is an ideal choice for organizations looking for a simple and cost-effective way to achieve fast data access for multiple clients at the file level. Implementers of NAS benefit from performance and productivity gains.

In recent years, NAS has developed more sophisticated functionality, leading to its growing adoption in enterprise departments and workgroups. It is not uncommon for NAS to go head to head with storage area networks in the purchasing decision, or become part of a NAS/SAN convergence scheme. High reliability features such as RAID and hot swappable drives and components are standard even in lower end NAS systems, while midrange offerings provide enterprise data protection features such as replication and mirroring for business continuance. NAS also makes sense for enterprises looking to consolidate their direct-attached storage resources for better utilization. Since resources cannot be shared beyond a single server in DAS, systems may be using as little as half of their full capacity. With NAS, the utilization rate is high since storage is shared across multiple servers.

NAS is an attractive investment that provides tremendous value, considering that the main alternatives are adding new servers, which is an expensive proposition, or expanding the capacity of existing servers, a long and arduous process that is usually more trouble than it's worth. NAS systems can provide many terabytes of storage in high density form factors, making efficient use of data center space. As the volume of digital information continues to grow, organizations with high scalability requirements will find it much more cost-effective to expand upon NAS than DAS. Multiple NAS systems can also be centrally managed, conserving time and resources.

Another important consideration for a medium sized business or large enterprise is heterogeneous data sharing. With DAS, each server is running its own operating platform, so there is no common storage in an environment that may include a mix of Windows, Mac and Linux workstations. NAS systems can integrate into any environment and serve files across all operating platforms. On the network, a NAS system appears like a native file server to each of its different clients. That means that files are saved on the NAS system, as well as retrieved from the NAS system, in their native file formats. NAS is also based on industry standard network protocols such as TCP/IP, FC and CIFS.
