Use Common Storage

The term “network appliance” unfortunately doesn't refer to a fridge with video conferencing capabilities, but instead it often refers to a network-accessible storage device, such as a networked hard drive or rack, that is shared by multiple systems on a LAN, though it can refer to many kinds of computer hardware connected to a network. As your organization grows, you'll find that using common, shared data storage becomes increasingly important, and it thus becomes critical to keep that data online at all times. When you go shopping for network storage devices, be sure that they have remote appliance support and remote hardware access, as administering the devices remotely will save you a lot of time and money in the long run. The ability to do quick maintenance fixes in the middle of the night from home could save you a lot of stress and your system administrator a lot of time.
