A Detailed Review On NAS Server
What is this NAS Server? This is a major question being asked these days. NAS Server is an abbreviation of Network Access Storage Server. This server was actually made by an inspiration from Newcastle Connection which was invented in late 19 century by a brilliant student of Newcastle University. In 2000 many great companies made different file servers but 3Com was the first come who invented this NAS Server for all desktop applications. After this invention many other new versions were introduced to market and these versions tried to take place of the original one unfortunately this could not happen.
This was the history of the NAS Server let me tell you little about this NAS, Network Access Storage is a small unit or device that is connected to a computer which helps the computer to share file or store files on it for a little moment but once these files are accessed or used they are destroyed after words. If I explain this process in practical terms than its like this that in big organizations or multinational organizations a printer is placed a corner place of the department and almost every employee there can access that printer. Usually one printer could be connected with one system at the moment but here that printer is connected with several, here a small server is used called print server. This print server helps to pass on the documents to the printer and make a proper queue of the documents and as every system has its own code when that code is given to the printer prints out exactly that document which was sent to it by the system having that regarding code. This whole technology or the method is derived from the NAS Server technology, in the similar way the NAS server send the file and store the file there on it so that the file could be accessed any moment.
AS the Print server has a little keypad attached to the printer but the NAS server doesn’t have any kind of display panel or any keyboard attached to it, it is directly control through the browser of the system. As the NAS server is a server and from its name it’s understandable that a server usually have a big size hard disk as compared to local computers. So it has more than one or two hard disk and the system that is specially used to control the NAS server also doesn’t have a fully furnished operating system on it rather the system is stripped according to the needed items.
There are different uses of this NAS server like usually it is to provide space to the clients so that they can easily store their files when they want. These NAS Servers are good enough for the bank as these days the trend of online banking is increasing a lot. Other than the customer use bank’s employees also sometimes need to get information from other bank branches and this is the perfectly easy way to access data.
