NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE (NAS)
It is a networked storage whose sole purpose is to provide storage to
user and information systems attached to the network. Network
administrators can simply extend the available storage capacity by
attaching new network attached storage server to the network.
With the passage of time, NAS devices are becoming less expensive.
NAS devices can provide an additional storage capacity of 6 TB or more.
Figure 14-10 illustrates the working of NAS.
