What is Network Attached Storage (NAS)?

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 specializes in serving files either by its hardware, software, or configuration. It is often manufactured as a computer appliance – a specialized computer built from the ground up for storing and serving files – rather than simply a general-purpose computer being used for the role. NAS systems are commonly used for centralized storage, backup, and file sharing within a local network.
