Network Attached Storage for High-End Applications

The purpose of this technical paper is to analyze the factors that limit the capabilities of traditional Network Attached Storage (NAS) and propose an alternative solution based on emerging technology. Traditional NAS solutions have historically been incapable of scaling to meet business requirements, in terms of capacity or performance, often forcing enterprises to invest in a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment. With the Titan SiliconServer, BlueArc offers an alternative solution to traditional NAS or SAN implementations with a solution engineered to meet the business requirements of any enterprise.
