Network-Attached Storage (NAS)
Network Infrastructure and Services provides network-attached storage
(NAS) spaces to Virginia Tech faculty and staff for individual
and organizational use. NAS spaces provide a secure and reliable
location to store files so that they are accessible from almost
any computer. For example, copies of office documents and e-mail
are good candidates for storage in a NAS space.
The NAS
server, storage.vt.edu, is accessible via TCP/IP using the Server
Message Block (SMB) protocol for Windows environments, the Network
File System (NFS) protocol for Unix environments, and both of
these protocols for Mac OS X environments.
