The traditional way is to use a cloud service to store the data. Opening the NAS &nbsp;box unprotected to the public is something you shouldn't do at all, but it would be managed by<br />
a) using a dynamic DNS service to register the current IP address<br />
b) forward port 445 on the router to the NAS box<br />
c) use the DynDNS address to access the NAS.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
