NAS

Overview

Network Attached Storage. A purpose-built Server device that is used for storage of files that are not on a Windows server or a cloud service like Microsoft Teams. Great for large media files that need to be stored onsite instead of in the Cloud. Synology and QNAP are two of the most common brands of NAS. A similar type of equipment is called a SAN (Storage Area Network). SANs are more expensive, but better performing devices that are primarily used for servers.
