NAS Storage Architecture
Minimize

Security and Reliability

The storage resource
If you want to store in environments with big amounts of data efficiently and securely, NAS is for you.

NAS is an independent system which shares storage and is connected directly to a network that is directly accessible by a number of heterogeneous customers or other servers. NAS fiel servers are servers specifically designed to download files and services management of any application server.

Why is NAS necessary?
Minimize
  • Due to the ubiquity of the internet
  • The massive growth of e-mails
  • Customer needs that require information at any time, ever richer in content, images, audio, video, clips and virtual private networks for e-commerce, datawarehousing and ERP application on the intranet.
Benefits
Minimize
  • With NAS can be added storage without disrupting the network. Improving up-time considerably
  • NAS architecture is compatible with the following operating systems: NT, Unix, Netware, etc.
  • One of the main benefits that  has NAS is allowing customers to access directly without being redirected to the application server
  • Performance: data are store directly by clients without intervention of the server
  • Availability: Resilience to failures. Currently some data have become critical to the business, then these data should be safe and reliable. This calls for an SLA (Standard Level Accuracy) 99.9% (8 hours of downtime per year). In other cases, some applications require high availability of data such as the 99.99% (1 hour of downtime per year) and recover from failures of hardware, software and implementing change within 30 seconds. 
  • Easy to retrieve information remotely. 
  • Cost: HSM migration to tape for low cost data used infrequently. 
  • Scalability: Includes modular scalability, file servers can be attached directly to the network without stopping the applications that are already running. 
  • Interoperability: NAS is able to support heterogeneous clients (such as NT and Unix stations). To share the same network data from a server attached. 
  • Advantages: NAS is ideal for document management, transaction-based applications. 

In summary NAS is ideal for working with documents, handling of files based transactions and applications.
