 B. E. COMPUTER SEMINAR
 Network support for NAS
• File system traffic patterns
network file access entails small message traffic
• Drive resources
price-conscious drives, resource constrained devices
• Cluster SAN, LAN & WAN
• Reliability
reliable delivery of data for most applications
• Failure detection / Recovery
• Multicast
either in a NIC automatically replicates data
or in network fabric, can significantly reduce b/w
requirement
