NAS servers

Network-attached storage (NAS) servers are file-based storage devices that connect to a network. They provide a centralized location for storing and sharing files, and can be accessed by any device on the network, including computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

NAS servers are a reliable and easy-to-use file storage solution. They can be set up quickly and easily, and provide a secure and cost-effective way to store large amounts of data. NAS servers can be scaled to meet the needs of growing businesses, making them a versatile and scalable storage solution.
