Developing a Secure Private Cloud Storage System

The increasing demand for storage solutions in small-scale settings, driven by data-intensive applications, has necessitated the development of affordable and energy-efficient Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems. Traditional NAS solutions are often costly and consume significant power, making them less suitable for personal use, small businesses, or educational environments. This project addresses these challenges by designing, implementing, and evaluating a NAS system based on the Raspberry Pi platform. By leveraging the Raspberry Pi's extensible architecture, compact size, and low power consumption, the project aims to create a viable alternative to meet the growing need for efficient and accessible storage solutions.
