Snap Server

A popular network-attached storage (NAS) device from HVE ConnecXions, LLC. (www.snapappliance.com). Snap Server plugs into an Ethernet switch for extra storage on the network. Powered by a unified software platform called GuardianOS, the same Snap Server can be accessed by Windows, Mac and Unix clients. See NAS.
