NAS Server for Secure Business Data Storage in the UK
At CodeSmartWeb, we specialise in professional NAS server setup for small and medium businesses, enabling secure, centralised access to your files and backups. Our solutions include RAID protection, remote access, automated backups, and full data encryption for total control over your business storage.
What Is NAS Server Setup?
NAS (Network Attached Storage) server setup involves configuring a dedicated storage device connected to your office network that provides secure, centralised access to files, backups, and shared resources. Unlike traditional cloud storage, NAS gives your business full control over data, better privacy, and on-premise performance.
At CodeSmartWeb, we provide complete NAS setup services for small to medium businesses in the UK, including hardware configuration, RAID protection, user permissions, remote access, and integration with backup workflows.
Key Features of a NAS Server in Business Environments
Centralised File Sharing Across the Office
A NAS allows multiple users and devices to securely access shared folders, files, and project data from one central location—ideal for teams that need real-time collaboration and version control.
Automated Backups and Data Redundancy
NAS systems support scheduled backups from workstations and servers. With RAID configurations (RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10), your data remains protected even if one or more drives fail. We integrate incremental backups, snapshots, and cloud sync as part of the setup.
Access Control and User Permissions
We set up fine-grained access policies, so each team member sees only the data relevant to them. Integration with Active Directory (AD) or LDAP ensures scalable, role-based access control.
Remote Access and VPN Integration
We set up fine-grained access policies, so each team member sees only the data relevant to them. Integration with Active Directory (AD) or LDAP ensures scalable, role-based access control.
Remote Access and VPN Integration
Your NAS server can be accessed securely from outside your office via VPN or encrypted HTTPS file portals, ensuring productivity even when working remotely.
Benefits of NAS server
Improved Data Security
Control your own infrastructure and avoid third-party data breaches. With NAS, your data stays on your network and is encrypted at rest and in transit.
Reliable Backups
NAS automates the backup process, preventing data loss from hardware failure, ransomware, or human error. Backups can be versioned and mirrored to the cloud or off-site.
Team Collaboration
A NAS acts as a shared workspace, streamlining access to shared folders, CAD files, documents, and media—even for large files that are impractical to manage via email or cloud links.
Lower Long-Term Costs
Owning a NAS eliminates recurring cloud storage fees and gives you more control over storage expansion and performance as your company grows.
