What is NAS?
NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a file-level computer data storage server connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients. NAS specializes in serving files either by its hardware, software, or configuration. It is often used for home media servers, small business file sharing, and backup targets.
What other technologies are related to NAS?
NAS Competitor Technologies
SAN
SAN (Storage Area Network) is an alternative storage architecture that provides block-level access over a network, often used in enterprise environments needing high performance and scalability, directly competing with NAS which typically offers file-level access.
DAS
DAS (Direct-Attached Storage) is storage that is directly connected to a server or workstation, without a network in between. It's a competitor to NAS because it offers a different approach to storage accessibility and sharing.
FC
FC (Fibre Channel) is a high-speed network technology primarily used to connect computer data storage to servers. FC is often used with SAN and is thus a competitor to NAS.
NetApp
NetApp is a storage vendor that offers both NAS and SAN solutions, competing with other NAS providers.
Fiber Channel
Fibre Channel is the same as FC above, thus a competitor.
Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel is the same as FC above, thus a competitor.
Object Storage
Object storage is a data storage architecture that manages data as objects, often used for large amounts of unstructured data. It's a competitor because it offers an alternative way to store and access data, particularly for cloud-based applications.

NAS Complementary Technologies
iSCSI
iSCSI is a protocol that allows block-level access over TCP/IP networks, which can be used to connect servers to a NAS or SAN. It is complementary because it facilitates communication to and from storage systems.
RAID
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive components into one or more logical units for the purposes of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both. RAID is used within NAS devices to protect data and enhance performance.
NFS
NFS (Network File System) is a distributed file system protocol allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. It is a common protocol used by NAS devices for file sharing.
