Full Summary:
Evaluator Group’s NAS Storage Evaluation Guide is part of a series of guides designed to help IT professionals evaluate storage technology alternatives. This Evaluation Guide and the accompanying workbook are designed to assist potential buyers understand the options and products available and to help match requirements to the available technology choices.
Our Evaluation Guides are not sponsored by vendors and are written for IT managers seeking a vendor neutral discussion of the design considerations behind new products, technologies, and trends.
Network Attached Storage has made some inroads into enterprise environments over the past few years with solutions to specific needs. Typically these NAS appliances that are introduced into this environment are called “High-End” NAS appliances or NAS Gateways. What characterizes a high-end NAS appliance needs to be examined in more detail to put into context what the discussions are about. There have been many technology advances recently that further distinguish the NAS devices (or NAS solutions to correctly include the companion software) from one another.
This evaluation guide will explain the characteristics and the new technologies being applied to help understand the products and usages. It is important to have a base understanding of NAS and the market to make sense of the technologies that are being applied.
While there are specific market segments where NAS has been introduced, a further refinement is to examine the specific applications where they have primarily been deployed.
