:: IBM Network Attached Storage (NAS)
As e-business continues to evolve and grow, the need for data access and fault tolerance increases tremendously. Simultaneously, the sheer volume of data that needs to be stored and managed grows as well. Many businesses depend on the ability to access digitized information quickly and reliably 24 hours a day. Today, data protection can be considered synonymous with business protection. It’s about helping to ensure high availability—that the data is available to those who need it when they need it. It’s about losing only minutes instead of hours or days. NAS devices are high-performance storage appliances that provide shared data and file serving to clients and other servers on a Local Area Network (LAN). The IBM TotalStorage™ NAS family of devices—including the NAS 200, NAS 300, and NAS 300G Gateway—help to create a costeffective, business-critical storage delivery system.
