The world of NAS has changed over the years, historically being used as a central location to store and share user files and home directory data across the business.

Today, NAS is used much more widely - commonly including applications, large unstructured data sets and virtualization.

As such, unstructured data is currently measured in Petabytes and continues to grow exponentially.
