demands for workgroups or departments
for mid-large size companies.

Conclusion
Network Attached Storage is a proven and
viable solution in networking environments
today because it allows for easy expansion of
information access, complementing existing
general-purpose servers. NAS devices
• Are easy to install and manage
• Provide easy access to information
over the network
• Are cost-effective
• Are general-purpose server independent
and thus more reliable
• Provide improved performance
Hewlett Packard will continue to be the leader
in this market by providing timely solutions for
Network Attached Storage needs. For more
