Explanation:
What is NAS
NAS is a dedicated, high-performance file sharing and storage device. NAS enables its clients to
share files over an IP network. NAS provides the advantages of server consolidation by
eliminating the need for multiple file servers. It also consolidates the storage used by the clients
onto a single system, making it easier to manage the storage. NAS uses network and file-sharing
protocols to provide access to the file data. These protocols include TCP/IP for data transfer, and
Common Internet File System (CIFS) and Network File System (NFS) for network file service.
NAS enables both UNIX and Microsoft Windows users to share the same data seamlessly.
