NAS Concepts 

NAS (Network-Attached Storage) is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer 

network providing data access to heterogeneous clients. NAS uses file-based protocols such as NFS 

(popular on UNIX systems), SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System) (used 

with MS Windows systems), or AFP (used with Apple Macintosh computers). NAS units rarely limit 

clients to a single protocol. 

 

 

 

NAS provides both storage and a file system. This is often contrasted with SAN (Storage Area 

Network), which provides only block-based storage and leaves file system concerns on the "client" 

side. SAN protocols are SCSI, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, ATA over Ethernet (AoE), or HyperSCSI. 

One way to loosely conceptualize the difference between a NAS and a SAN is that a NAS appears 

to the client OS (operating system) as a file server (the client can map network drives to shares on 

that server) whereas a disk available through a SAN still appears to the client OS as a disk, visible in 

disk and volume management utilities (along with client's local disks), and available to be 

formatted with a file system and mounted.
