Question 1

What is the difference between NAS and SAN storage?

Accepted Answer

NAS provides file-level storage over Ethernet networks, while SAN delivers block-level storage typically over Fibre Channel or iSCSI. NAS is often simpler to deploy and more cost-effective for file sharing and backup.

Question 2

Can NAS systems support virtualization environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enterprise NAS systems support NFS, SMB, and iSCSI protocols, making them compatible with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and other hypervisors.

Question 3

How scalable are modern NAS platforms?

Accepted Answer

Many rackmount NAS solutions allow expansion through additional drive shelves or clustered nodes, enabling capacity growth from terabytes to petabytes.

Question 4

What RAID levels are supported in NAS devices?

Accepted Answer

Most NAS systems support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and vendor-specific hybrid RAID configurations for data redundancy and performance optimization.

Question 5

Do NAS systems support hybrid cloud integration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many business NAS storage platforms support cloud tiering, remote replication, and backup integration with public cloud providers.
