Welcome to the Network-Attached-Storage-NAS-Box-using-Raspberry-Pi wiki!

1.Introduction

Information Technology (IT) departments are looking for cost-effective storage solutions that can offer performance, scalability, and reliability. As users on the network increase and the amount of data generated multiplies, the need for an optimized storage solution becomes essential. Network Attached Storage (NAS) is becoming a critical technology in this environment. This motivates to create an IOT enabled device that can work and control like Network Attached Storage (NAS) Box easily with click of button. Also device can be monitored using Smartphone. Network Attached Storage (NAS) Box using Raspberry Pi is a powerful easy-to-use network storage center for backup, synchronization, private cloud, and home entertainment. With the Notes Station, you can easily create digital notes on your private cloud and share with friends and colleagues at no extra cost.

1.1. Problem Statement

To design and develop Network Attached Storage (NAS) Box using Raspberry Pi.

1.2. Current Issues / Constraints

• Better connectivity is essential to handle more storage requests. • For the smooth functioning of system, we have to assume that, client where user interface running on browser and the raspberry pi to which all the appliances are connected, have a working network connection with high bandwidth.

1.3. Future Process Flow due to this Solution

With modern hardware, having a dedicated machine for each specific task rapidly becomes an expensive and inefficient solution. Network Attached Storage (NAS) Box using Raspberry Pi allows you to install comprehensive applications and services on your Raspberry Pi, whenever you need them. This product will reduce cost associated with running a dedicated computer to share files within a network.

1.4. Additional Features

Our NAS box would be working with following functionalities which includes,

• Network Storage and File Server • The Raspberry Pi as a Web Server • The Raspberry Pi as a Private Cloud Storage and file syncing • Network services such as DHCP, NTP, FTP, etc. • Media servers • Universal plug and play protocol for local storage e.g. Hard disk, USB drives, etc. • Offer central backup
