Why should consumers use Windows Home Server instead of an existing home network or data back-up solution, such as an external hard drive?
VanRoekel: Windows Home Server and complementing hardware such as the HP MediaSmart Server will provide consumers with an advanced solution out-of-the-box, which will go well beyond what a simple network or today’s data back-up solutions do. Windows Home Server will be incredibly simple for customers to set up and use. With Windows Home Server, families will be able to easily share and access data around the home or on the road, and create an integrated solution for storing data, backing-up computers, and monitoring the health of each computer on the home network. Families will be able to add computers and storage to Windows Home Server as their needs grow and change. Windows Home Server also provides virtually unlimited opportunities for third-party products and solutions that address needs specific to the different ways that Windows Home Server is used and the changes that will come with the continued development of digital media.
