Slow file accesses, storage bottlenecks, and unnoticed hardware failures can paralyze small businesses and large enterprises. Site24x7's NAS performance monitoring cuts through these issues with real-time visibility into every critical metric—whether you're managing a compact NAS at the edge or a high-capacity storage array at the core.
Stay on top of every aspect of your NAS environment with real-time performance metrics.
Number of installed disks
Number of operational (active or parity) disks
Health of NVRAM battery backup
Total bytes read and written since last boot
Number of protocol-specific storage operations handled
Traffic volume per protocol
Free space available per file system
Number of broken or offline disks
The age of the oldest data in the read-only buffer cache
Even minor NAS issues can disrupt productivity or compromise backup integrity.
Site24x7 helps you:
Spot bottlenecks before they affect users.
Plan storage expansion with real usage trends.
Ensure backups run smoothly and on time.
Keep shared files consistently accessible to distributed teams.
Stop guessing and start making informed decisions—backed by real-time metrics, proactive alerts, and historical data..

NAS uses file-level protocols like SMB and NFS, making it ideal for sharing files. SAN operates at the block level and is better suited for databases and virtualization.
Absolutely. NAS is an affordable and scalable storage option for SMBs, providing centralized backup, file access, and data protection.
You can use separate tools for this, but continuous storage monitoring offers deeper insights into long-term trends and real-world usage.
Key factors include network bandwidth, disk health, RAID configuration, protocol overhead, and concurrent access load.
Both NAS and SAN systems benefit from monitoring—but with different goals:
Focuses on file-level access and user experience (ideal for file sharing, content libraries, and backups)
argets block-level I/O and application throughput (used in databases, virtual machines, and high-performance computing)
Site24x7 supports both NAS and SAN monitoring, helping you apply the right metrics to the right storage class.
