When it comes to saving their massive and ever-multiplying stores of digital assets, content creators can use any of the following techniques:

* Direct-attached storage (DAS), in which disk subsystems are directly attached to workstations or servers

* Network-attached storage (NAS), in which disk subsystems are directly attached to Ethernet networks

* Storage-area network (SAN), in which disk storage and servers are attached to a Fibre Channel network.

However, in most studio environments, the trend is clearly away from DAS systems and toward faster-performing networked storage architectures of NAS or SAN.
