Benefits of Deploying Windows Powered NAS in an Active Directory Environment

Overview This whitepaper describes how Windows Powered network attached storage (NAS) appliances can leverage Windows 2000 NT File System (NTFS), Distributed File System (DFS), IP Ssecurity (IPSecEC), Encrypted File System (EFS), Group Policy (GP), and other services to provide IT organizations with robust, high performance, high availability, and secure file services. Taking full advantage of the benefits provided by each of these services relies on deploying a Windows Powered NAS appliance within an Active Directory (AD) infrastructure.
