What is LUN?

A LUN (Logical Unit Number) is a unique identifier for a logical unit, which is a storage volume that a storage device makes available to a host computer. It is commonly used in storage area networks (SANs) to allow servers to access and manage storage resources on shared storage devices, such as disk arrays. The LUN acts as a pointer to a specific portion of the storage, allowing the host to treat it as if it were a directly attached disk.

NAS

NAS (Network Attached Storage) provides file-level access to data over a network. While LUNs provide block-level access, NAS provides file-level access. So NAS and LUNs are competing ways for networked computers to store files.

NFS

NFS (Network File System) is a file sharing protocol, and a type of NAS that provides file-level access to data over a network, rather than the block-level access of LUNs.
