An Efficient Approach towards File Storage and Sharing in Network

Anil Bharat Ahir | Hira Namdev Rakhunde

Abstract: Network Attached Storage (NAS), allows homes and businesses to store and retrieve large amounts of data more reasonably. The plug and play nature of NAS makes it a flexible storage option for small businesses and is easily administered by existing IT staff. Many researchers are leading toward deployment of virtualized environments with Network Attached Storage (NAS) that shared storage resources because of the significant presence of Network File system Storage (NFS) in the datacenter today. Network Attached Storage servers are independent, smart devices that are connected directly to local area network. This cleverness on the network attached server device enables true data sharing among heterogeneous network clients. The use of Network Attached Storage (NAS) has become increasingly popular when it comes to virtualized Environment. Multiple users can access the storage drive at the same time so files can be shared among multiple users and devices. NAS is easy to implement and easy operative for sharing of data and affordable financially. Storage as a service is implemented using NAS and tested in small environment. It shows that it is an operative storage system for internet storage in terms of cost and the management of the system.
