Why Network Storage • Work with heterogeneous environment. Interoperable with MS Windows, Linux/ Unix, and Mac OS, concurrently. • Support all major editing apps concurrently. • No client software nor hardware. Anybody on Ethernet can access/ review the content • Simple to operate • Easy to maintain and support with OS/ apps upgrade, particularly good for archive and library • Very low overall cost • Very scalable for future addition
