What is a NAS?
The Taiwanese company QNAP sells various network-attached storage devices (NAS devices) under the name "QNAP NAS". These devices allow both companies and private users to protect their data efficiently and to organize and use it individually.
A NAS is a file server with its own operating system that makes its storage space available over the network.

Deploying QNAP NAS devices is highly advisable for any company of any size and any industry for document management

What are the advantages of not using Docker containers?
Doing without Docker containers when operating a document management system (DMS) on a NAS (Network Attached Storage) has a number of advantages:
- 1. Easier to maintain and update: Without Docker Container, there is no need to worry about DMS and container compatibility, which can simplify maintenance and update.
- 2. Higher performance: Since the DMS runs directly on the NAS, it can fully utilize the resources of the NAS and thus achieve higher performance compared to a container environment.
- 3. No additional resource load: Since no Docker containers are used, there is no additional resource load on the NAS, which has a positive effect on overall performance.
