Network-attached storage (NAS) devices are best suited for any enterprise or SMB with a lot of data to store and share.
As NAS devices are effectively a server in itself and contain all of the components of a typical PC, its reliability dictated by how well it is designed internally. A NAS without redundant data access paths, redundant controllers or redundant power supplies will likely be less reliable than a simple PC with better components acting as server connected to the network.
In addition, a performance of NAS devices also depends heavily on the speed of and traffic on the network and on the amount of RAM on the NAS computers or devices.
SAN Data Recovery Services
A storage area network (SAN) is an architecture to attach remote computer storage devices such as disk arrays, tape libraries and optical jukeboxes to servers in a manner that to the operating system these devices appear as locally attached.
Sharing storage usually simplifies storage administration and adds flexibility since cables and storage devices do not have to be physically moved to move storage from one server to another.
As an architecture, a SAN environment can incorporate a number of different types of computer hardware, including Network-Attached Storage (NAS) devices and RAID systems. Because of its many elements, SAN architectures can be quite complex and the more complex the system, the more likely a failure can occur in one component, affecting the entire storage environment.
Like any computer hardware, SAN devices can fail, regardless of the quality of its components or its redundant configuration.
Depending on the type of service you requested an average recovery could take as little as 12 to 24 hours.
