ASC NAS Clients are the users and groups that access NAS Resources via the ASC Server. There are two types of NAS clients you will see:
Windows Clients - These clients use the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol to work together and share documents. Because many operating systems support CIFS, it is possible to have clients using other operating systems listed as Windows clients.
NFS Clients - These clients are usually Unix clients using the Network File System (NFS) protocol.
