Direct Attached Storage (DAS)

 

Direct Attached Storage or DAS is a storage device that connects directly to a single server. In order for clients on the network to use the storage device they must have access to the server it is connected to. In addition to handling the storage and retrieval of data files the server will also handle applications such as e-mail or databases. The result is that performance of direct storage is not as high as that of networked storage. However on a small scale direct storage is much simpler to administer since you only have to deal with one server connected to the storage device.
