NAS (Network Attached Storage) Configuration

Data storage connect to network, it connecting directly to a computer.NAS device is easily accessed by multiple people,computers, mobile Applicatioin and  remotely connected.

 NAS (Network Attached Storage) Benefits :-

• Security, Management and fault tolerant capabilities.
• Mapping File Drives.
• Anywhere Location Connected Remotely
• Data Protection
• Private Cloud Server and Own Media Server
• Automatic Data Backup and more Storage

 NAS Configuration Step by Step:-

• Prepare the hardware
• Configure administrative accounts
• Perform a diagnostic check
• Configure the storage architecture
• Create volumes
• Configure access permissions for the volumes
• Configure network acess & notifications
• Configure advanced options
• Configure the backup

RAID CONFIGURATION :-

Redundant array of independent disks is a method of enhancing disk performance,backup is safe another hard drive and improving fault tolerance and increasing storage capacity.

• RAID 0 – striping   - minimum 2 drives required
• RAID 1 – mirroring - minimum 2 drives required
• RAID 5 – striping with parity - minimum 3 drives required
• RAID 6 – striping with double parity - minimum 4 drives required
• RAID 10 – combining mirroring and striping -minimum 4 drives required

RAID 0 - Features striping a process of dividing data spreading the several drives. Does not provide data redundancy.

RAID 1 - Writes identical data to all drives simultaneously. Provides data redundancy.data mirroring

RAID 5 - Implements block-level striping with parity data distributed all drives, thus providing data redundancy more efficiently than RAID 1.

RAID 6 - Implements two layers of data parity to store redundant data equal to the size of two drives, Greater data redundancy than RAID 5.

RAID 10 -Provides the performance of RAID 0 and data protection level of RAID 1, Two drives data is mirrored.
