De ontwikkeling van de Server van het Huis van Vensters met een Server van PK MediaSmart
This weekend I completed the roll-out of my new HP MediaSmart Server running Windows Home Server. Ik gaf opdracht tot De Server EX470 van PK MediaSmart. Ik had oorspronkelijk de Server die van het Huis van Vensters op mijn Afmeting van Dell E520 loopt maar legde het op toen I created my "Ultimate" PC. Ik wilde werkelijk de ervaring uitproberen de gemiddelde consument in het kopen van een Server van het Huis van Vensters en het opzetten van het in hun huis zal hebben. De server van PK MediaSmart scheen als de perfecte keus in het controleren van de ervaring van de Server van het Huis van Vensters.
De server EX470 van PK MediaSmart heeft volgende specs:
- Bewerker - AMD 1.8GHz Sempron met 64 bits
- Geheugen - 512MB Ddr
- Interfaces - 4 USB 2.0 Havens, 1 eSATAHaven
- Opslag - 1 500GB SATA 7200 t/min
Het model EX470 van de Server van PK MediaSmart komt met één enkele harddrive 500GB, nochtans EX475 model komt met 1TB (twee harddrives 500GB SATA). I don't need 1TB just yet so decided to go with the EX470. The EX470 comes with 3 expansion slots to add my own harddrives at a later date which is really nice.
Windows Home Server gives a great deal of added benefit to Windows Vista users. First and foremost, it allows you to make sure your PC is completely backed up and that all your PCs on your home network are backed up. With a Windows Home Server restore disc, you can easily restore a complete PC backup from your Windows Home Server via your home network. Windows Home Server also makes sure all your PCs are protected by as well - alerting you if a PC becomes unprotected our has out-of-date antivirus/spyware definitions. And Windows Home Server takes advantage of Het Delen van media capaciteiten die aan het Uitzicht van Vensters voor foto's, muziek en video's worden ingebouwd. I can move recorded TV shows onto my Windows Home Server where I can access them on any PC on my home network. Same goes for my photos.
There are 3 reasons why Windows Home Server is essential for my home network:
- A centralized place for data storage with quick access from any PC on my.
- Quick and easy remote access to PCs and data.
- Complete PC backups with full and quick restore capability.
I do a lot of traveling and when I'm away from my home office, I cannot begin to explain how amazing it is to be able to login to my Windows Home Server to access important data - or files I accidentally left behind. I can even use Remote Desktop to login to my PCs at home remotely.
In setting up the HP MediaSmart Server, I was curious how the experience would be in setting up a "headless" server from a consumer standpoint. There's no monitor connection on the HP MediaSmart Server - only way to access it is remotely. I was incredibly impressed on how easy it was.
Essentially, the HP MediaSmart Server comes with an install disc you use on any of your client PCs on your home network. The install disc will install some HP software for the server as well as launch a wizard that takes the user through a step-by-step process in setting up Windows Home Server. The wizard lets you setup a Windows Home Server Password, check for updates, name your Windows Home Server, and install the Windows Home Server Connector.
After the wizard completed, I had a fully functional and accessible Windows Home Server. Took me only a matter of a few minutes to set up. Very nice.
Coming up, I've got some more experiences to share with Windows Home Server and Windows Vista.
