This website is about Network Attached Storage (NAS) Solutions. Though we will mention proprietary NAS storage solutions and devices by vendors like QNAP, Buffalo, Netgear etc, the main focus of this website is the “soft” side of NAS: NAS technology (iSCSI, RAID), NAS operating systems (servers) and file/data storage (XFS, ZFS, GlusterFS etc).
Apart from providing NAS storage news, tips and howto’s, you can read about different NAS operating systems and home server solutions. Some are quite specialised (media servers), others are full fledged (OpenFiler); some focus on home networking (MS Windows Home Server), other on enterprise storage (EuroNAS). We will help you decide which solution is best for you (matrix yet to be added).
This website aims to provide news and howto’s with regards to the operating systems below and give tips and advice to help you decide which NAS server operating is best suited to your needs. We will provide you with tips on data security and data storage too, i.e. data backup tools and encryption utilities.
Data storage is one of the most important aspects of computing; you may have a high performance PC, a lot of memory and a blazingly fast graphics card but what is the use of it all, if you can’t trust and rely on the safe storage of your precious data? In some circumstances data can be of more value than gold.
