Traditional standalone Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliances have long been the standard for shared file services, but they are complex to configure and manage, difficult to scale, and lack the elasticity needed to satisfy cloud needs.

As organizations adopt cloud services, user expectations rise. Users and IT teams want file services with easy access, always-on availability, and simple, automated scaling of capacity and performance. But satisfying these demands with traditional NAS systems can be a time-consuming and budget-breaking endeavor that leaves users dissatisfied and administrators overworked. Additionally, public cloud file services may not be cost effective or mature enough for enterprise needs.
