A group of researchers needs a shared space for data that multiple systems can read and write to using standard file protocols. They need to manage user-level access to specific folders and do not want a block-based approach. Which option would handle these requirements effectively?
Mount a local drive on each host for direct-speed access
Present volumes via a block-level protocol and install file management on each client
Use an object-based system with RESTful calls for storing data
Deploy a file-facing appliance that presents shared directories over a network
Network-attached storage (NAS) provides file-level access to multiple clients over a network. It lets each user or host connect without managing disk blocks directly. Object-based solutions typically handle unstructured data and require specialized client integration. Using a dedicated drive on each machine does not allow centralized management. A block-level service focuses on volume management, which does not align well with folder-level permissions on many connected devices.
