NAS device is a storage device connected to a network that allows storage and retrieval of data from a central location for authorised network users and varied clients. NAS devices are flexible and scale out, meaning that as you need additional storage, you can add to what you have. NAS is like having a private cloud in the office. It’s faster, less expensive and provides all the benefits of a public cloud on site, giving you complete control.

Data is a critical asset for companies Without access to their data, companies may not provide their customers with the expected level of service. Poor customer service, loss of sales or team collaboration problems are all examples of what can happen when information is not available.

Each of these issues contribute to lack of efficiency and potential loss of income if customers cannot wait for a data outage to be corrected. Additionally, when it comes to data storage, small businesses find themselves faced with other storage-related needs such as: 

• Lower cost options
• Ease of operation (many small businesses do not have IT staff)
• Ease of data backup (and it’s always accessible when you need it)
• Growth capability
• Simple to operate, a dedicated IT professional is often not required
• Good at centralizing data storage in a safe, reliable way
