Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a file-level computer data storage server connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients.
NAS is specialized for serving files either by its hardware, software, or configuration. It is often manufactured as a computer appliance-a purpose-built specialized computer.NAS systems are networked appliances which contain one or more storage drives, often arranged into logical, redundant storage containers or RAID. Network-attached storage removes the responsibility of file serving from other servers on the network. They typically provide access to files using network file sharing protocols such as NFS, SMB/CIFS, or AFP. From the mid-1990s, NAS devices began gaining popularity as a convenient method of sharing files among multiple computers. Potential benefits of dedicated network-attached storage, compared to general-purpose servers also serving files, include faster data access, easier administration, and simple configuration.
In 2017, the global Network Attached Storage (NAS) market size was 5000 million US$ and it is expected to reach 21500 million US$ by the end of 2025, with a CAGR of 20.0% during 2018-2025.
