NAS System Architecture

A NAS (Network Attached Storage) system is a dedicated device that provides centralized data storage accessible over a network. It connects to your home or office network, allowing multiple users and devices to store, retrieve, and share files easily. Think of it as a specialized external hard drive with its own network connection and management software, making data access simple and efficient without impacting individual computers’ performance. NAS systems often include features like data backup, redundancy, and remote access, ensuring your data is stored securely and is readily available whenever needed.
