Digiliant Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems are designed to provide a storage and data consolidation platform for files that can be shared between heterogeneous clients and servers.

Network Attached storage is a specialized server and operating system that is optimized for fast file access and heterogeneous file sharing with facilities for high availability, rapid recovery, data protection, ease-of-management and data backup and recovery.

NAS devices can have their own, integrated storage or they can share SAN storage. When sharing SAN storage the NAS system provides the facilities for file sharing while leveraging the previously consolidated pool of SAN storage.

NAS is beneficial when there is a need to share files to different servers and desktops and is typically implemented for messaging, development applications, business and regulatory compliance and general file sharing.
