Key features of the NAS backup storage:
- Simplest type of network storage to implement
- Data storage device at file level
- Connection via Ethernet
- Relatively inexpensive when adding additional NAS devices
- Provides data redundancy for your storage architecture
- Automatic backup to other devices and to the cloud
- Remote data availability 24/7
Key features of the SAN backup storage:
- Highly scalable architecture
- Provides consolidated data storage at block level.
- Extremely fast data access speeds
- Very adaptable in the scale-up or scale-out configuration
- Strong performance for high-speed traffic

NAS-Backup vs.
SAN-Backup
Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a dedicated hardware storage device that can be connected to a local network. As a cost-effective storage solution, they offer companies the ability to add additional network storage, often with built-in redundancy, at relatively low cost. And scale-out NAS devices use an architecture that allows organizations to grow by adding cluster nodes to increase capacity and performance.

Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a dedicated hardware storage device that can be connected to a local network.
The disadvantage of the traditional NAS backup approach is the inability to scale beyond the inherent limits of the system. A NAS has a preset amount storage, CPU power, drive slots and data throughput. Once capacity is reached, the possibilities become limited. While purchasing additional NAS devices, each managed separately, works well for small businesses, this approach can become confusing for large IT environments.

Storage Area Networks (SANs) is a network of interconnected storage devices, switches and cables.
Storage Area Networks (SANs) is a network of interconnected storage devices, switches and cables that provide block-level network access to all storage devices (tape libraries, raid arrays, etc.) and offer the convenience of centralized management. Organizations with rapidly growing data may find that a dedicated storage network is required to achieve a high-speed connection that meets their backup needs. SAN backups are often done over Fibre Channel and offer the highest access speeds and availability for mission-critical data.
“Agile IT infrastructures, growing data volumes and forward-looking technologies such as virtualization increase the complexity of data backup. With our expertise, we accelerate backup projects, ensure reliable implementation and take the pressure off the IT department”
