A Branch Office Box (BOB) is a single appliance that delivers Wide Area File Services (WAFS), individual "stackable services," WAN Optimization, security and other disconnected operations to branch and remote offices using a single, small-footprint appliance. In fact, industry analysts estimate that BOBs can save businesses more than $10,000 per year for each remote office.
