NAS APPLIANCES

NAS appliances frequently bring convenience and simplicity to network storage. NAS appliances include their own dedicated disks for storage and RAID, and most NAS appliances can be upgraded with more or larger disks for additional storage space -- and more NAS appliances can be added to the network. This guide focuses on specific considerations for dedicated NAS appliance products. You'll also find a series of specifications to help make on-the-spot product comparisons between vendors.

NAS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Network attached storage (NAS) management software allows administrators to deploy, configure, allocate and maintain NAS appliances and gateways within the data center -- and often across the entire enterprise. This Buying Guide focuses on specific considerations for NAS management software. You'll also find a series of specifications to help make on-the-spot product comparisons between vendors.

NAS GATEWAYS

NAS gateways overcome the inherent limitations of scale and flexibility by utilizing externally connected storage. The external storage may be a standalone disk array, but a NAS gateway might share storage through a storage area network (SAN), allowing users to consolidate their NAS data on SAN storage and realize the benefits of high performance and redundancy. This Buying Guide offers a series of specifications to help make on-the-spot product comparisons between vendors.
