Keep files, backups and local services more under your own control
Placement and configuration of a NAS or small home server: backups of your files, a media server or Home Assistant as host, and access within the home network.
- Files and backups in one place at home, not scattered across devices
- One quiet device that combines storage, media and smart home
- Your data stays within your own home network

Does this fit your situation?
Photos and documents are scattered across laptops, phones and loose drives, with no regular backup. One broken device is enough to lose years of files.
Families who want their files and backups in one place at home, Home Assistant users looking for a fixed host, and anyone who wants to serve films, music and photos to the devices at home through their own media server.

FAQ
Questions about this service
Is a NAS the same as cloud storage?
A NAS plays a similar role, but the device sits in your own home and your files stay within your own network. You decide who gets access and how the backups are organised.
Do I need a wired network for this?
A stable wired connection is the foundation for a well-functioning NAS. Heliora carries out this service on an existing wired network or in combination with the Ethernet and network cabinet services.
