Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business Network Storage System (NSS).
Administering a network can be a difficult job. Finding low-cost ways to simplify
your data-management tasks means that you have more resources to dedicate
elsewhere. The NSS is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit that appears as a
native file server for the various clients within your network, including Windows,
Apple Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux platforms. The biggest benefit to your users is
that they can now access data that might be stored across different physical
platforms as simply as if it were on their own computers. The NSS provides a
single repository that is completely dedicated to storage, ensuring the integrity,
reliability, and accessibility of your data for a relatively low cost.
