Network Attached Storage (NAS): A type of dedicated file storage technology that provides local area network nodes with file-based shared storage through a standard Ethernet connection. It allows more hard disk storage space to be added to a network that already exists. Because the stored data is not located on any of the network’s client devices but, instead, on the NAS system, it can be accessed and shared in a flexible and efficient way.
