Once upon a time, tech men who liked to tinker with small movies liked to build their own NAS at home, and after fully experiencing the fun of home private cloud, they brought NAS to the enterprise to make it easier for colleagues to share files.

But they overlooked a basic problem. Unlike the family environment, the enterprise is an organized, hierarchical and complex structure. After applying NAS to the enterprise, although NAS shows serious disobedience, in the case of no other choice, they still have to shoulder the important task of team document collaboration and struggle in a completely unfamiliar field:

Account management can only be maintained by super administrators and cannot be outsourced.

File access permissions can only be set by Super Admin, not outsourced

No version record, easy to overwrite, delete

Without access to the diary, the operation cannot be traced to its source

Difficulty in storage expansion

The file is not encrypted and the data security mechanism is weak

Have a single point of failure

……

After the application of NAS in enterprises, these problems have gradually surfaced, and NAS has become a chicken rib in a dilemma.

The way to solve the problem is: 1. Looking for a new file sharing service solution, 2. Do not eliminate and make full use of the original NAS.

Building a cloud box private cloud enterprise cloud disk is a perfect solution. Cloud box enterprise cloud disk can not only solve the problems of document sharing and collaboration of NAS in the enterprise, but also make full use of the original NAS as a storage or backup device.

We know that the real value of NAS lies in its rich suite and multimedia functions and strong entertainment, which is the charm of NAS. It is claimed that the enterprise NAS is essentially no different from the personal NAS, only by improving the performance configuration of the hardware to support the access of more users, but the basic functions are weak, still can not meet the requirements of the enterprise environment. We can compare the functional differences between cloud box cloud disk and NAS from many angles.

On the other hand, the fluency of the system and the access speed of files are the biggest factors that affect the user experience.

In enterprises, employees of different departments access the file system all the time. Because the storage transaction of NAS is a parallel synchronization mechanism, when a large number of files are uploaded and downloaded at the same time, it is easy to cause network congestion, and the fluency of NAS system will be affected. Private cloud enterprise cloud disk is different. The client loads the files needed by users asynchronously, which can effectively avoid network congestion.

In fact, many NAS vendors have long realized that they want to break into the enterprise market, but NAS uses the old agreement from decades ago, and its software architecture is hard to meet the complex requirements of teamwork.

So how can NAS be fully utilized when upgrading to enterprise cloud disk? In fact, NAS itself is a file storage pool, and NAS can be used as a storage or backup pool for private cloud enterprise cloud disks.

NAS acts as a storage pool

Attach the NAS to the backend of the cloud disk and store it as the file of the cloud box. The document management function is cloud box, and the storage is NAS. It can also be understood that NAS has been completely upgraded by making use of the rich collaboration features of cloud disk.

NAS as backup machine

Backup the data of Cloud Box to NAS through cycle policy to avoid data loss due to misoperation or device damage, and can be traced back to the historical data of any period of time.

It is also worth noting that whether using NAS as storage or backup, enterprises still have to face the problem of storage expansion. Therefore, there are enterprises' practice is to keep the files that are not used every day in NAS, and save the commonly used files to the new cloud box server.

Although NAS has made a certain share in the file sharing market of individuals and enterprises, there are inherent deficiencies in the structure on the way to enter the enterprise market. The cloud box enterprise network disk design starts from the underlying needs of the enterprise, and can provide enterprise users with different and more perfect enterprise document collaboration solutions.
