DAS (Direct Attached Storage)
NAS (Attached Storage)
SAN (Storage Area Network)
iSAN (IP Storage Network)













In all instances, networks can be created for a few hundred GB, up to in excess of 50TBs, and the flexibility of the solution gives the ability to increase the storage pool, and also utilise different manufacturer solutions. The choice on whether to choose SAN, iSAN or NAS will depend on speed requirements, size of the storage pool and existing connectivity considerations.
