NAS devices offer an affordable compromise to investing in more expensive server solutions for small businesses. "Every small business with a network needs a server to share and secure data. NAS devices are an easy solution, but they don't provide the powerful features that would make them an ideal replacement to a server," says Warren Luebkeman, CEO of Resara LLC. "We wanted to develop a solution that would bridge the gap between NAS products and small business servers. A simple appliance that shares data, and also has advanced features like a domain controller for network management."

Earlier this year, Resara LLC launched its line of OfficeBox server appliances, which offer the simplicity of a NAS solution, but pack the powerful features of a traditional small business server. "With this product, a business can configure a network with an Active Directory compatible domain controller, add users, setup DNS and DHCP, and create file shares and drive maps in just a few minutes," says Mr. Luebkeman, "There is nothing else like it on the market."

Using the intuitive admin interface, customers can easily manage users and computers on their network, as well as create file shares and drive maps with a few clicks of the mouse. OfficeBox server appliances also feature a built-in remote file access solution, so employees can access their data from anywhere with a web browser. "At the end of the day, OfficeBox appliances offer small businesses a professional network solution in a simple, affordable package. They provide the bang-for-the-buck that businesses are looking for in this economy," says Luebkeman.

Resara LLC has been developing Linux server products since 2005. Resara Server, the operating system that powers OfficeBox server appliances, is in use across the USA and around the world in non-profits, small businesses, multi-national corporations, school districts, and many other types of organizations. Resara LLC is currently looking for partners to help bring its products to market across the globe. Check out http://www.resara.com for more information
