it's a server. not just attached storage. It can me used and easily set up as a personal web site as well.
You can do remote access and install 3rd party apps yes but the biggest deal is automated back up of all machines on your network and it has software raid so all your data is imaged. What makes it different then a regular raid device it that you can change your protected space(mirrored) on the fly, you and easily add any combination of hardrives and if one fails you can just stick in a new one that is completely different than the one that failed and the data will be copied to it.
This is like the drobo but with the quality of a windows business server. It will have other things like online back up too.
I played with the HP one at CES in January and it is very cool. When you see one in action you will understand.
