Overview
Your network attached storage (NAS) appliance enables you to easily add storage to a workgroup, small office,
or small business network and offload the file management responsibilities from the server. The NAS appliance
is a "headless" device, which means it has no keyboard, mouse, or monitor, but can be managed through the
network or by using console redirection through a serial connection. The system offers the data security
capabilities of general-purpose servers.
