NAS vs. DAS performance?
|
A storage-area network (SAN) organizes storage resouces on an independent, high-performance network.
The key distinction between NAS and SANs is that network-attached storage handles input/output (I/O) requests for individual files, whereas a storage-area network manages I/O requests for contiguous blocks of data. Today, some SANs can transport data over a standard Ethernet connection, but most often storage area networks use the Fibre Channel protocol, which was developed specifically for high-speed data transport on storage-area networks. |

DAS: Ideal for Local Data Sharing Requirements NAS: File-Level Data Sharing Across the Enterprise SANs: High Availability for Block-Level Data Transfer Each has their benefits, but each is best suited for a particular environment. |
