*A device used for Large Scale Storage
*Often Abbreviated NAS
*It combines several concepts, and can run into the issue of [[NAS vs a Small Server]] but essentially:
**External Storage (Such as a [[Thumb Drive]] or [[External Hard Drive]] , which can formally be considered " [[Direct Attached Storage]] " especially when larger)
**a [[RAID Array]]
**A Server

- As cheap and power efficient as possible, while still retaining high power and speed (ie a nice balance if you were to make a graph with the two as the x and y axis)
*Due to the capabilities needed varying greatly, a single "design" is hard to make
 
*Thus the "models" can probably be best described as:
- Scalable to many formats/standards form sub GB ethernet all the way to 300 Gbit/s infiniband

**A ''Proper'' Rack Cabinet Type Design which could scale about as high as that format will let you, the upper ends of which are way beyond OSE's scope at least as of now
 
*The Raspberry Pi NAS can be made on largely DIY/OS Hardware which is nice
- Scalable from low users, to airport/concert level of users
 
- Optional Built in VPN, and Tor + any othe encryption capabilities
 
- Made in partenership with OCI and the Free Network Foundation
