With the development of the COVID-19, home/remote working has gradually become popular. Public cloud services for storing files are starting to gain traction. People started using NAS with Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, etc. Using public cloud services to store files is convenient at first, but there can be many problems with hidden costs, storage/bandwidth limitations, service availability, data ownership, and security.
With a NAS, you can build a secure private cloud that is completely under your control, easily expand your storage space, and never worry about losing access to your files if your cloud provider goes out of service or suffers a security breach.
What is NAS?
NAS (Network-attached Storage) is a smart data storage device where you can centrally store, manage and share all your files – including photos, videos, music, and documents. By connecting a NAS to your home/office network, you can build and share a safe storage space with family members/colleagues that can be accessed from PCs or mobile devices. Easy-to-use and with rich features, a NAS is more than just a simple backup solution.
QNAP is derived from Quality Network Appliance Provider. The QNAP NAS product line is very popular in the European and American markets.
Why Choose QNAP NAS?
QNAP NAS products have the following advantages and features:
1.Store up to terabytes of data
NAS safely stores large volumes of any type of data. The storage capacity depends on the capacity of the hard disk drives (HDD) or solid-state drives (SSD) you set up. A NAS can support potentially huge volumes of data with no monthly fees while maintaining the same convenient data storage as cloud services.
2.Backup all your devices
Automatically back up your PC/Mac and mobile devices to your NAS. If you require extra protection, your entire NAS itself can be backed up to the cloud or another NAS.
3.Simplify team collaboration and file sharing
Share not only storage space, but also share and synchronize files across a variety of platforms and devices; QNAP’s online collaboration tools are simple, safe, and secure.
4.Remote access NAS
When a NAS is mounted to your computer. Most QNAP users locally access their files this way.
With a web browser, mobile app, or the TeamViewer application, you can enjoy secure remote access to your NAS files and services.
5.Security
QNAP’s encryption technology secures your data and prevents unauthorized access. The inbuilt Security Counselor app also protects your files from viruses and malware.
