NAS provides file sharing services through protocols such as NFS and CIFS.

NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a type of storage system that provides file sharing services over a network. NAS systems use standard network protocols such as NFS (Network File System) and CIFS (Common Internet File System) to provide file-level access to data, allowing multiple users to access and share files stored on the NAS device. This makes it an effective solution for storing, sharing, and managing large amounts of data within an organization. Additionally, modern NAS systems can offer features such as data replication, snapshots, and data protection, which adds to the functionality of the storage solution.
