What is hexos, explained for a tech guy of 35 years, who never played with anything server related.

With all this talk about it on LTT, i've seen media streaming, storage drive auto backup and easy set up but i'm genuinely confused about the whole server setup or talk. but these items above excite me.

what can this software do. i read the web site but don't fully understand some terms. my tech skills are 35year old but i never went near servers.

ps i did buy this software and will probably be able figured it out but i am waiting for my beta invite.

edit: i bought it blindly because of the backup and streaming, with windows easy style install setup process.

Its a Network Attached Storage with App such as Plex Media streaming that you can download. And other things in the future. they will eventually also have support for virtual machines and such. 

Network attached storage - Folders/files that can be accessed by any device on the same network

Not sure if i answered your question or not

HexOS is a fully capable server OS on the back end, with all the difficult technical knowledge requirements that entails. The difference is that the front end is smoothed and curated for ease of use by those of us that aren't willing to devote weeks and months of our lives

Its main focus is as a file storage server, but it can also host many interesting things such as local media servers (build your own netflix, spotify, etc), or game servers (minecraft, etc, etc), Voice communication servers like Teamspeak... the list goes on.

Basically, its a platform to host and back up your files, AND host other apps if you want to.
