The advantages of NAS storages:
1) Increasing the space of storage system
2) Providing a flexible way for multiple location accessibility
3) Providing an efficient data communication way on reliable network environment
4) Sharing the data within NAS storage system
5) Providing the data security protection on the NAS storage network processes.
6) Backup of data automatically
7) Easy setup and simple configuration

The disadvantages of NAS storages:
1) Limited number of ports which only can provides limited hosts connected to the storage system
2) Compromised services availability when the data storage capacities are closed to full.
3) Ineffective use of resources because its unused storage resources cannot be reallocated, which results of over-utilized and …show more content…
3) iSCSI is connected with the Internet, but NAS is within a private networks. So for security risk concerns, iSCSI has a high security risk than the risks of NAS storage system.
4) NAS provides a faster data transfer rate and work performance since it is working in local network without any long distance traffic issues. iSCSI is based on Internet networking for connecting remote server which needs more latency time on the traffic.
(“Iscsi vs NAS”, n.d.)
3. List 6 major strengths of SAN. (6 pts)
1) Reliable and fast performance because SAN has its own private network which does not affected by outside environments.
2) Data isolation because of SAN is zoned which protects the data in the zone.
3) High scalability because of SAN unlimited disks attached to the storage system, which provides unlimited space for SAN grows for small physical storage system.
4) Separating the workload from zones.
5) Long distance connectivity if the servers are located in different locations with long distances.
6) Providing centralized management for storage servers in multiple
