    Abstract: A NAS memory controller is provided that is operatively connected to one or more NAS clients for shared memory access, where each NAS client includes a clock and is operatively connected to one another through a low-latency communications network. The NAS memory controller is configured to transmit an indication of a stop time and a restart time to each of the one or more NAS clients, and after the stop time arrives, receive a journal of file operations from each of the one or more NAS clients. The NAS memory controller is further configured to determine a status of each journal, and thus provides a reliable data replication by accurately synchronizing the file operations of the NAS clients using the journal without the need to have a programmatic access to the NAS source, without installation of gateways, and without requirement to reread all data written to the NAS source.
