How big is your company and how many PCs will be connected to the NAS? What kind of files / documents are stored? How much hardisk storage space is required?
For example, the HP Microserver is meant for less than 10 PCs connected for simple work file / print sharing. Gives you 4 or 6TB of hardisk space in RAID 1. Install something like Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system and you can do things like you described. Anything larger and you need to go for something more powerful.
my company has approx 15 - 20 pcs running from 3 different offices. definitely will do RAID 1 with around 750G - 1TB harddisk is sufficient enough. unfortunately my boss dun wan install OS coz it tends to easily corrupted... i did some research and D-Link DNS-320 looks promising to me... any idea on this device???

I think jchue73 answer most of your question. But how many fixed IP you have? BIZ package should only give you a fixed IP and it's not advise to place your storage server direct to the Internet.
yes just 1 fixed IP... my boss need to have full time access on our web system... that's why we need to put this storage to the Internet... and we actually have a local server and its too old to upgrade any hard disk due to motherboard limitation. so my boss decide to use nas right now.
