A small law firm requires a solution that permits its staff to access and save client files from any workstation in the office. As a very small business they do not have any centralized servers or a data center. Which device best fits this requirement?
A Network Attached Storage (NAS) device
A USB storage device shared through one user's workstation
A centralized storage management software on the main office workstation
A Network Attached Storage (NAS) device is specifically designed to connect to a network to provide access to files across multiple users simultaneously without the need for a direct connection to a central computing resource like a workstation or dedicated server. A flash drive is for single-user, local storage; a file server would necessitate a dedicated system; and a modem is a device that facilitates internet connections without providing file storage services.
