Shared Data Stored on Network Attached Storage (NAS)
A short discussion on the use of a network attached storage (NAS) in a networked computing environment.
Data Storage
Call me simple. One of my underlying philosophies in technology is to use the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) principle. I have found from practical experience that managing the data itself is a unique area for administration when compared to managing the application/service accessing the data. The best way I have found for managing data is to store it on dedicated servers that only perform data services across the network.
Introduction
I have heard arguments in the past that data can only be reliable when served off of the server that is accessing the data. Data performance was another argument. I was leveraging data delivered over IP/Ethernet before those antagonists were coerced into coming to terms with efficient management of large data.
Here are topics related to data storage and managing data on a network.
