Recent reports show a 14.3 Compound Annual Growth Rate (CGAR) from 2013 – 2018
Growth will be primarily driven by the increase in the number of home and small business networks, continued data explosion, and the growing need for data backup and archiving.
NAS is one of the on-line storage architectures that promise to deliver businesses with cost-effective, scalable, and manageable alternatives for ever-growing data requirements. As a networked storage technology that allows connected host systems to share data, NAS devices have gained popularity in a short span of time, thanks to the range of benefits they offer. Advantages stacked in favor of the NAS technology include increase in data availability, improvements in server performance, optimized data access, end-user transparency, easy setup, low installation and maintenance costs and platform-independence.
Demand for NAS devices is forecast to be driven by the growing need for anytime, anywhere accessibility to corporate and internet networks.
