The world is going digital, and everyone communicates through the internet. So, you cannot ignore the importance of data storage. Earlier, you used to look for external disk drives to store data; now, your personal computers come with terabyte hard drives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several advanced storage solutions by Microsoft windows: SAN, NAS, and DAS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, selecting a storage solution depends on many factors. This article will discuss two leading storage solutions, i.e., NAS vs. SAN<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n NAS is a file-level data storage that connects to a computer network. It is a network node similar to a computer and other TCP\/IP devices. It has its IP address and uses an ethernet connection for sending and receiving files. It provides data storage and access to files from a central location to other network users or clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can get files from one or more hard drives arranged in RAID arrays<\/a>. With more drive bays within the NAS, you get a more extensive and flexible storage option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NAS is not like a general server, but vendors are adding new software to improve server functionality on NAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n
