SOLUTION
A NAS device can be used to provide storage solutions in many environments for both the office and the home including:
- Shared storage in an office environment
- Storage backup and disaster recovery
- Home media server for music, video and pictures
Shared Storage in an Office
In an office environment, a NAS solution can be used as a central network data resource offering common shared storage in addition to protected storage with user defined access rights, such as:
- company databases
- shared file storage
- email archives
- data archives
All these options can be accessed by any user in the network with the appropriate access rights.
Storage Backup and Disaster Recovery
A NAS device is an excellent choice for data backup and disaster recovery applications for the following reasons:
- The built-in disk redundancy, error detection and recovery means that the backup data is protected even if a drive crashes or data becomes corrupted.
- A NAS device can be accessed from any part of the network; not just the local area network (LAN). In particular, it allows remote backup from other sites as part of a disaster recovery strategy.
- The user-friendly backup software makes it easy to protect your critical business data and in the case of disaster recovery, it makes it simple to restore archived data.
- USB devices such as iPods®, memory sticks, external hard disks and many more can be backed up as well.
- Support for USB-based Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) protects the storage device even during a power loss of the main electricity.
With potential disasters such as fire, flood, theft, hardware failure, human error, virus attacks to name but a few, these features can help protect your data. After all in today’s world, these are your company’s most important assets.
Home Media Server
In the home more and more people are storing their music, video and family pictures on their computers. A NAS solution not only allows everyone in the family to share all this information, but it more importantly allows these valuable files to be protected and backed up properly. For instance, losing the complete family photo album would be a personal tragedy for many families.
In particular, a NAS solution for the home can provide:
- An iTunes® jukebox to share music with the whole family
- A central storage area for digital photo albums allowing all family members to access and view family pictures
- Central storage for digital music and videos which can be streamed to suitably enabled TVs and Hi-Fi equipment
- A backup solution with sufficient capacity to fit all of the family’s files without the need for separate backup devices for each family member
- Local attachment and backup of USB storage devices such as iPods® or other MP3 players, memory sticks, digital cameras and external USB disk drives.
A NAS device is now an affordable solution for the modern multimedia enabled home.
