Welcome
Welcome to our blog! In this day and age, when everything seems to be digitized, the volume and variety of available data have scaled to tremendous heights; this is not to mention the speed at which new data comes in or existing data, updated.
Because of this data abundance, data analytics has gained growing attention, not only from the business sector but also from individuals. For instance, you may check the pattern of your calls on your mobile phone over several months or perhaps the social media stats that indicate your popularity in the online world. You can even keep track of the number of hours or minutes you spend on your daily walk for the health-conscious.
Data used to be a management decision tool for businesses, but not anymore; it has become a critical asset. The absence of data can create significant problems that include customer complaints, lost sales, failed marketing campaigns, discordant teams, and many more. These problems may even scale up and result in loss of income, decreased profit, reduced market share, higher operating costs, low employee morale, and more.
But how do we ensure data availability?
For most personal users, the most common approach to give way to new data is to delete old files. But what if you require them in the future? Another approach is to transfer files to an external drive. Depending on what you can afford, it could be a choice between the tiny flash drives or the bigger, more expensive ones with bigger memory. But since the external drive is attached to your device, you cannot immediately share your data with others who may need them.
While those approaches may work for personal users who do not need to share their files with others, using them in business is undoubtedly an ill-judged choice regardless of size. However, we understand that small and medium businesses are constrained by the cost of more sophisticated storage space, especially if they do not have knowledgeable staff who can source, evaluate, select, and implement an upgraded storage solution. Their best bet: a Network Attached Storage (NAS).
But if you think that NAS is good for businesses only, think again! Most individuals use multiple devices to get things done in today’s digitized world. A NAS would allow you to sync your data from your multiple devices, giving you a satisfying work from anywhere experience. You can also give other people access to your storage data, so whether you are co-located or not, you can work on your documents and save them to the NAS, while your daughter binges on downloaded flicks or TV shows, and your son enjoys his online games.
Sounds cool, but there’s one other concern. You do not understand how NAS works and, therefore, are unsure how to go about it.
Our blog commits to providing our readers who are not tech-savvy with useful information on what NAS is. We will share articles on NAS types, their uses, and their benefits. We will even compare it with other storage solutions and post a guide on choosing the best NAS for you.
Visit our Directory and Catalog section to select the best NAS for your need and find out where to get it.
If you are a technology expert proficient in NAS, we invite you to share your knowledge with us. Submit an article, answer questions in our online Q&A platform, or call our attention to the information we have shared that you find incorrect or incomplete.
If you have experienced using NAS, feel free to share with us your experience. The concept and principles we post here may be well-researched, but nothing beats first-hand experience.
We also call on readers who are not well-informed about NAS to post questions on our platform to give us an idea of what you need, and we will strive to give them to you.
Let’s all do our share, so everyone enjoys the benefits of NAS. We’ve done our part. We encourage you to contribute in any way you can.
Let’s work hand-in-hand to promote tech literacy.
