NAS-based Solution

[fox12]

I got the following requirement:
NAS based solution with 8TB which can be expandable to 40TB.

I know NAS means Network Area Storage. My question is when I am trying to find a solution to it. Where to start? What hardware and software to be considered? configuration and networking issue?

Thank you very much for pointing me to some direction.

NAS means Network Attached Storage

It really depends on your needs.

1: Determine what problem you are trying to solve.

2: Determine your network infrastructure. How are the clients going to connect?

3: Determine your backup strategy.

4: Determine if any other applications will also run on this server.


There are plenty of NAS servers. SNAP Servers, DELL, etc..
