ThinServer5's NAS
is designed for file sharing and a central backup point for data
files.
NAS boxes are designed for file sharing rather than running applications, as well as central backup since users can copy the contents of their hard disks whenever it suits them. This is likely to be important where the business or branch has no network manager to enforce backup policies. |

NetWare, Unix and Linux
