Network Storage

Network-Attached Storage (NAS): NAS is a file-level storage system that provides a dedicated file server for data storage and retrieval. It typically operates over a local area network (LAN) and uses standard file-sharing protocols such as NFS (Network File System) or SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System). NAS devices are standalone units that contain their own operating system, storage media (such as hard drives or solid-state drives), and network interfaces. They are easy to set up and manage, making them suitable for small to medium-sized businesses and home networks.
