If you are considering using it as a conventional filesystem from a
few clients, then it most resembles NAS. However, I don't think it
makes sense to try and classify it as SAN or NAS. HDFS is a
distributed filesystem designed to be consumed in a massively
distributed fashion, so it does fall into its own category.

Or does it fall under a totally different category? If so, can you
please email brief information?
