Introduction
Network Attached Storage (NAS) addresses the growing need for shared network
storage in the home and small/medium sized business environments. NAS has the
advantage of being easy to use, manage and simple in design. Files can be shared
between computers regardless of the operating system they are using or the network
server they are attached to. This solution provides a convenient common storage
