The NAS Gateway Effect: How the Re-Invention of NAS Is Changing Enterprise Storage
Overview IT managers looking for battle-hardened, enterprise-scalable storage for their most demanding applications have a surprising new alternative: NAS. While NAS itself is not new, the next-generation NAS solutions now on the market are new. NAS is into its next stage of evolution and now includes industrial-strength solutions for IT managers seeking to streamline management. While many still think of NAS as only a workgroup file sharing solution, a rapidly expanding group of storage managers now deploy NAS as their preferred storage infrastructure for mission critical applications that demand exceptional performance and capacities. Applications now include enterprise-wide file server consolidation, medical imaging, web content delivery, and computer animation.
