For example, NAS Server usually do not have a keyboard or display, and are controlled and configured over the network, often using a browser.  NAS devices offer better scalability, fault recovery and general manageability than current client-server LAN based approaches for real-time and data intensive applications. Whether you work in a switched or a shared-access environment, NAS devices allow server-to-server and server-to-client Gigabit-rate data communications without bogging down your LAN environment.
