What is the Best NAS Solution for my Business?

seagate ironwolf nas with nas enclosure

Network-attached storage (NAS) devices are data storage devices that connect to and can be accessed through a network, instead of connecting directly to a computer. NAS devices contain a processor and their own operating system so they run applications and allow files to be shared by multiple people.

NAS devices can be easily accessed by multiple people, multiple computers, mobile devices, or even remotely. If you run a small business and need to share files with your colleagues often, or want a safe and easily accessible storage system for your home or home office, NAS is the perfect solution.

For small businesses, NAS is often a lower cost option, as well as being simple to operate and offering easy options to back your files up. NAS also offers a good method of centralising data storage in a safe, reliable way.

Which Drives Should I Choose?

Built for network-attached storage servers, Seagate IronWolf hard drives are the best choice for NAS applications and are developed in close coordination with leading NAS partners such as Synology, QNAP, and more to provide you with the best NAS experience possible.

Encrypted Data Storage vs Traditional Data Storage

Image
If you run a business, you may have large amounts of important data and files that need to be kept secure and confidential. So what’s the best way to keep this data safe? You need secure storage devices! A recent survey conducted by iStorage Ltd, found that some businesses may be at risk, with two thirds of data being stored on unencrypted storage devices. iStorage Ltd is an award-winning company and trusted global leader in PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices. Their research into data security found that 99% of people consider data security to be a necessary practice, but only 5% are following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre on data storage and backup.
