|
|
>A NAS
|
|
uses your companies existing Ethernet network to allow
|
|
access to shared disks. This is filesystem level access.
|
|
The system administrator does not have the ability to partition or format
|
|
the disks since they are potentially shared by multiple computers.
|
|
This technology is commonly used to provide multiple workstations
|
|
access to the same data.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Similar to a SAN,
|
|
a NAS need to make use of a protocol to allow access
|
|
to it's disks. With a NAS this is either CIFS/Samba
|
|
, or NFS.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Traditionally CIFS was used with Microsoft Windows networks, and
|
|
NFS was used with UNIX & Linux networks. However, with Samba, Linux
|
|
machines can also make use of CIFS shares.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Does this mean that your Windows 2003 server or your Linux box
|
|
are NAS servers because they provide access to shared drives over your
|
|
network? Yes, they are. You could also purchase a NAS device from a
|
|
number of manufacturers. These devices are specifically designed to
|
|
provide high speed access to data.</P
