The BOSS combines secure Internet access and data storage in a single, complete unit that is ideal for your home or small office network. This network server appliance (NSA) allows users to access the Internet and share files regardless of the operating system being used. The cost of purchasing and maintaining a server and a router are now eliminated, and management of the system does not require knowledge of server software. While basic in function, the BOSS has advanced features such as a Firewall and VPN to keep your network private and secure.
