Secure data storage is crucial for businesses. On-site network attached storage (NAS) safely backs up files and protects client confidentiality by keeping everything under password and in-house.
Safe Access to Private Documents From Almost Anywhere
Permanent storage with quick access to files is important for any office. The software on most NAS devices facilitates safe access to files remotely. This provides data storage with complete control, with the added advantage of easy access to files from anywhere with a secure internet connection. The storage device can be accessed via an internal network or across the internet. A unique IP address helps to protect your data against malware and intrusion.
Network Attached Storage Deletes Data Safely
Rather than being backed up to a series of servers spread across the internet, photographs and personal data are in private, password-protected storage. When data is deleted, it is permanently erased. This removes the concern that a duplicate copy may still exist on a remote server.
Upload Directly From Personal Electronic Devices
Free up space on personal cell phones, tablets and laptops and keep the uploaded data safely encrypted and protected by a firewall. Connect the storage device to your home network, and your current devices will recognize the equipment on the network to access its features. Added to the advantage of this function is the elimination of monthly fees and caps on available space.
Is an NAS Device Adequate in a Small Business Office Environment?
Centrally located on the local network, the storage device allows approved users access to stored documents with a password. Users can be assigned their own password-protected file folders. Many devices have software enabling the unit to be a printer, email, multimedia or database server for multiple computers. With both horizontal and vertical scalability, NAS offers many of the features of a larger LAN or WAN environment in a compact set-up.
Will a Storage Device Stream Stored Media?
In addition to downloading and storing video and music files, these devices can also stream files over other electronic devices. The network attached storage will stream through whatever is connected, from computers and handheld devices to smart TVs.
Does the Device Work With a Game Console?
Many models can easily stream music and movies to Universal Plug 'n Play and Digital Living Network Alliance-certified devices, including game consoles. Game data can be backed up onto the device.
Why Is Network Accessed Storage Recommended Instead of a High-Capacity External Hard Drive?
The single connection with an external hard drive is limited to storing files and software for an individual computer, without the ability to share files among other computers or devices in the home and office. Network accessed storage has the capability to encrypt files for added protection.
How Much Storage Does the Device Have?
For users who want to back up one or two home computers, there are units with fixed storage of as little as 500 gigabytes. For more flexibility, some devices have multiple bays for adding hard drives for more storage. Some models have a bank of USB ports for attaching multiple external hard drives. The devices are scalable, so there's no limit to the amount of possible storage space. Certain brands also partner with cloud storage providers for further memory and redundancy.
