For IT shops overwhelmed by unstructured data, three technologies including scale-out network-attached storage (NAS), object-based storage and the cloud as a NAS tier, are being propelled to the forefront of enterprise storage. Tech Target examines these technologies that can meet the insatiable need for file-based primary data storage.
