Network attached storage (NAS) is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the data storage market. For enterprises and other large organisations, NAS provides an efficient way to store ever-larger volumes of unstructured data, from media content and documents to AI training materials.
For smaller outfits, NAS offers a step up from internal storage in servers, providing familiar files and folders arrangement and largely similar management tools. They also run over the same standard Ethernet networks as existing PCs and servers. At the micro-business end of the market, a NAS box might even take the place of a server altogether, due to their simplicity and low cost.
