Understanding the Basics
Enterprise storage is not one size fits all. Businesses often rely on solutions like Intel Storages to handle growing data needs efficiently. The three main types, NAS, SAN, and DAS, each serve different purposes depending on performance, scalability, and access requirements.
What is NAS
Network Attached Storage connects to a network and allows multiple users to access files easily. It works well for file sharing, backups, and collaborative environments where simplicity matters.
What is SAN
Storage Area Networks are built for high performance. They provide fast, block level storage, making them ideal for databases, virtualization, and applications that demand speed and low latency.
What is DAS
Direct Attached Storage connects directly to a single system. It is simple and cost effective but limited in scalability and shared access.
