Capabilities

Everything the machine does, in plain language.

Norvexa is described here in terms of what an owner gets. Where a capability belongs to a specific edition, that is stated — and nothing is claimed that the product does not actually do.

01 — Storage

Storage

Capacity you own outright

Norvexa turns the drives in your machine into storage pools with the redundancy you choose. Capacity, health and performance stay visible in one place, and the data stays on hardware that is yours.

Basic and above
  • Storage pools with the redundancy level you select
  • Pool, volume and dataset management in one view
  • Drive health and failure visibility before a disk dies
  • Add capacity without rebuilding your setup from scratch
02 — Shares

Shares

Your files, on every device

Shared folders behave like a normal network drive on the computers and phones you already use. Access is decided per user and per folder, and sharing outside your network is an explicit choice rather than a default.

Basic and above
  • Shared folders that mount normally on desktop and mobile clients
  • Per-user and per-group access rules
  • Norvexa Files for browsing and managing content
  • Secure share links when you deliberately share outward
03 — Virtual Machines

Virtual Machines

A second machine inside the first

Run complete operating systems alongside your storage. Useful for a home server that would otherwise be another box, another power supply and another thing to patch.

Standard and above
  • Full virtual machines with their own operating systems
  • Storage and networking managed from the same place as everything else
  • Start, stop and console access from Norvexa
  • Keeps experimental workloads away from your data
04 — Apps and the Plugin Platform

Apps and the Plugin Platform

Close the window. Not the work.

Norvexa runs applications and a plugin platform designed around persistent background agents rather than dashboards you have to keep open. An agent keeps working when you close its window, and reports back only when something matters.

Basic and above
  • Installed applications with a lifecycle you control
  • A plugin platform built for long-running background agents
  • Agents surface relevant events in Norvexa Live instead of nagging
  • Plugins cooperate through typed events rather than hidden actions
  • Privileged actions stay behind declared capabilities, confirmation and audit
05 — Guardian

Guardian

Protection that is watching anyway

Guardian looks for the behaviour that precedes data loss rather than waiting for a filename to look suspicious. It watches for ransomware patterns, maps what depends on what, and tells you before you change something you cannot easily undo.

Premium
  • Behavioural ransomware protection
  • Ransomware Shield for your shares and backups
  • A dependency map of what relies on what
  • Alerts that arrive with evidence, not just an alarm
06 — Time Machine and Disaster Recovery

Time Machine and Disaster Recovery

A recovery path you have actually rehearsed

Snapshots and scheduled backups are only half of protection; the other half is being able to get everything back while you are under pressure. Norvexa keeps recovery a guided, one-click operation rather than a research project.

Premium
  • Scheduled snapshots and backups
  • One-click disaster recovery
  • Norvexa-to-Norvexa replication for a second copy
  • Norvexa Move for guided migration to new hardware
07 — Norvexa Intelligence

Norvexa Intelligence

AI-assisted administration

Norvexa Intelligence is the assistive layer across the product: it reads what your system is doing and explains it in language you can act on, so routine administration stops being a research task.

Premium
  • AI Autopilot for assisted administration
  • Energy Intelligence for power and cost awareness
  • Predictive hardware health before a failure becomes an outage
  • Media intelligence for large libraries
  • Dependency and change explanations rather than raw log output
08 — NCS — Norvexa Coding Studio

NCS — Norvexa Coding Studio

Built on DeepSeek Harness

NCS is a full coding workspace that runs inside Norvexa. It is a real plugin, not an embedded web page: DeepSeek Harness runs in the background, so closing the window does not stop the job, and reopening NCS restores the same session, project and progress.

Premium
  • DeepSeek Harness as the coding engine
  • Sessions survive closing the window or the browser
  • Progress appears in Norvexa Live alongside your other agents
  • Work is sandboxed to its project workspace, not your whole system
  • Publishing follows the same typed, confirmable path as the rest of Norvexa

Which of these do you get?

It depends on the edition. Basic is free and genuinely usable; Premium removes the work of owning a NAS entirely.
