What are the advantages of combining CD/DVD storage with network attached storage (NAS)?
By combining CD/DVD storage with NAS, you are centralizing like data and simplifying administration and support as opposed to maintaining separate systems. It can be very efficient to share the same storage space for both types of data — for example, in the case where data is stored on the NetServ and periodically burned off to CD or DVD and then reloaded as a disc image. The storage load doesn’t change much, but the form switches from data to disc image.
