General:
Network-attached
storage (NAS) is the name given to dedicated data
storage technology that can be connected directly
to a computer network to provide centralized data
access and storage to heterogeneous network clients.
Benefits:
Availability
of data can potentially be increased with NAS
because data access is not dependent on a server:
the server can be down and users will still have
access to data on the NAS. Performance can be
increased by NAS because the file serving is done
by the NAS and not done by a server responsibile
for also doing other processing. The performance
of NAS devices, though, depends heavily on the
speed of and traffic on the network and on the
amount of cache memory (the equivalent of RAM)
on the NAS computers or devices. Scalability of
NAS is not limited by the number of internal or
external IO interfaces of a server as a NAS device
can be connected to any available network jack.
NAS can be more reliable than DAS because all
the other things that can bring a server down
do not affect the NAS device dedicated to file
serving.
Features:
1. Vary easy to use:
Anyone can setup his own File Server without engineering
work, computer hardware, and softwares. The user
don't need any detail knowledge about computer
operation system.
2. Cost effective:
Only 10% cost of PC based web server.
3. Realiable: Embedded
system works very smooth and reliable.
4. Security: No damage
from virus attack
5. Small size: Only
pocket size
6. Green: Few power
consumption, less than 1W power
7. WAP: Support Wireless
LAN
8. Multilanguage:
Support Chinese, English, German, Korean, Japanese,
Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian
9. Web based controll:
Very user friendly user interface
10. Flexible: More
option application functions: Printer Server,
BT Client, Router, WAP, Web Server, Mail Server,
...
11. Powerful hardware:
More powerful option hardware: Giganet, Wireless
LAN, RAID, Printer, .....
