Organizations can effectively handle the following tasks by using Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions:
  1. File Storage and Sharing: Facilitate collaboration and information sharing by providing members with quick and easy access to and sharing of files.
  2. Data Storage and Backup: Establish a usable data storage or backup system to facilitate disaster recovery and ensure the security of critical data.
  3. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Host: Serve as the host for the virtual desktop infrastructure, providing members with remote access and management of their work environment.
  4. Test and Develop Web Applications: Provides developers with a secure platform for testing and developing web or server-based applications.
  5. Streaming Video and Audio Files and Torrents: Supports streaming of video and audio files and provides a convenient way to manage and share Torrent files.
  6. Storage for frequently accessed images and movies: Provides a centralized storage solution for frequently accessed large files such as images and movies.
  7. Internal Copy Server: As an internal copy server, members can easily access and manage files for printing.
For example, an audio-visual company uses a high-end NAS device to store the large number of videos and photos produced every day that cannot be synchronized to the cloud in real time due to network speeds. The use of a NAS allows any employee in the company to easily access and modify these photos over the intranet, increasing productivity.
