What Is NAS?

NAS is an acronym for Network Attached Storage. NAS solutions are specialized file-serving devices that support heterogeneous files in a high capacity storage solution on Ethernet based networks. NAS solutions also provide specific features to simplify the tasks and reduce the resources associated with data storage and management. The objective of NAS technology is to simplify manageability and improve data access to clients and applications. A NAS solution will generally provide network accessible storage to a mix of clients and servers running different operating systems.
