Description

Cloud NAS (network attached storage) is remote storage that is accessed over the internet as if it is local. The storage is usually hosted by a third-party service provider, who charges the customer a fee based on capacity and bandwidth. Many enterprises use a similar chargeback method for their off-site storage. Cloud NAS is often used for backup and archiving. A key benefit of this approach is that data stored in the cloud can be accessed whenever needed and from any place. The main drawback, however, is that the data transfer rate is limited by speed of the network connection the data is accessed over. Think of cloud NAS as the same as on-site NAS except the storage devices are located inside a cloud vendor’s data centers. The cloud vendor’s storage resources are essentially NAS configured to meet customer storage needs.
