Explanation

NAS Implementation-Unified NAS The unified NAS consolidates NAS-based and SAN-based data access within a unified storage platform and provides a unified management interface for managing both the environments. Unified NAS performs file serving and storing of file data, along with providing access to block- level data. It supports both CIFS and NFS protocols for file access and iSCSI and FC protocols for block level access. Due to consolidation of NAS-based and SAN-based access on a single storage platform, unified NAS reduces an organization's infrastructure and management costs. A unified NAS contains one or more NAS heads and storage in a single system. NAS heads are connected to the storage controllers (SCs), which provide access to the storage. These storage controllers also provide connectivity to iSCSI and FC hosts. The storage may consist of different drive types, such as SAS, ATA, FC, and flash drives, to meet different workload requirements.
