I have been running the micro server in my home office for about a month serving a combination of desktops and laptops for backups and document sharing.
I have recently just bought one on special offer with the Christmas £100 cashback HP offer and added 4GB of memory and 4x1TB drives that I had on the shelf in 2 RAID arrays ( so I actually have 2TB of usable space as the drives are mirrored for redundancy ). Add 8GB of extra memory and 2 x 2TB drives for a total of about £200 and you have a micro RAID server with operating system for under £500, which is staggering! The HP Microserver can be purchased with prices from £200 and Windows Home Server ( WHS 2011 ) for as little as £49.00. Welcome to the HP ProLiant MicroServer and Windows Home Server 2011 – don’t be fooled by the name, it’s for businesses as well. Servers and server software can be a big expense that is just beyond many small businesses, let alone the setting up cost and ongoing server support – but there is a cheap cost effective solution for home office and small business users! Most small businesses have a basic need to protect their data, regularly backup their critical business information and share documents between several or more users.
