SoftNAS® Architecture on Azure

Introduction

NAS systems enable data and file sharing, and are used for business-critical applications and data management. NAS systems are optimized to balance performance, interoperability, data reliability, and recoverability. Although widely deployed by IT in traditional data center environments, NAS software is increasingly used on Azure, a flexible, cost-effective, easy-to-use cloud-computing platform. Deploying NAS on Azure Computing Service (Azure) provides a solution for applications that require the benefits of NAS storage in a software form factor.
