1. Features of OpenMediaVault

As system or network administrators, there are many options that we can implement in the organization to be much more productive and generate much more correct administration. One of these configurations is to implement NAS (Network Attached Storage) in an organization in order to optimize the use and management of data..

 

What is NAS
NAS is a technology developed with the broad growth of current data in mind, just to mention one aspect, database files have gone, in just one year, from 3,527 to 106,472.54 petabytes, which, apart from being overwhelming , puts us on alert to look for storage solutions that manage to cover this immensity of data.

 

For this, NAS is designed, which is a storage device connected to a local network through which it will be possible to store and manage data in a centralized point for users who have the necessary permissions.

One of the advantages of NAS devices is their flexibility since it allows us to add more capacity to what it has based on the requirements that arise along the way..

 

Some of the features of a NAS device are:

  • Very affordable costs
  • Simple to configure
  • Ideal for creating backups
  • It allows centralizing the data while preserving its availability.

 

 

TechnoWikis thinking about it, will cover an important topic such as implementing NAS storage in Linux and this is possible thanks to Openmediavault.

 

What is OpenMediaVault
OpenMediaVault has been designed as a next-generation NAS or network-attached storage solution based on the Debian Linux operating system.

 

OpenMediaVault is made up of services such as SSH, FTP, SMB or CIFS, DAAP media server, RSync, BitTorrent client and many more. Thanks to its modular design it will be possible to expand its functionalities using plugins. Although OpenMediaVault's focus is small offices and homes, SOHO has capabilities to be implemented in medium or large organizations to take data management tasks to a higher level.
