SOHO Server Appliance
Faced with the
proliferation of home and small business networks, the ever-present
American dream of being able to do everything with one device has
stepped up and given rise to the Intellinet
SOHO Server Appliance. This handy little box is the small network
jack-of-all-trades. It’s a stand-alone network device that requires no
monitor, no separate OS, and only needs an ethernet connection to work
its magic (and a power cord as well, for the extremely literal-minded
among us). In exchange for these few things, the SOHO gives you a
plethora of capabilities. It has a built-in NAS that allows you to
connect a 3.5? hard drive and use it as network storage, accessible
from any computer on the network. It does print serving, file serving,
routing, and email administration. In addition, it provides a shared
internet connection as an internet router, complete with
denial-of-service security, firewall, and VPN access. What more could
you ask for from a small, unassuming box?
