Beta.. in real time setup how they make NAS server.. in this case FreeNAS acts as nas server and acts as nas storage.

in real time.. what acts as a nas server? i googled and this is my understanding.. a solaris server itself would be acting as NAS server.. but it would be 100% dedicated storage server.. it wont perform the normal operation like other solaris servers.. is my understanding correct?

as the name already say Network Attached Storage! you can also make from a Solaris-Box a NAS but i call them simply Fileserver!
A nas box is a cheap storage solution with a integrated WebGui to manage the box and set ACL... thats it...
