Review summary |
The IBM eServer xSeries 225 is an extremely capable server at a surprisingly reasonable price.
|
This server's solid components, economical price, and lack of manageability software make it most appropriate for budget-minded small businesses with just a few employees.
|
As long as you don't need dual processors, the PowerEdge 830 will aptly serve your small to medium-size business.
|
Microsoft's Windows Home Server is the best, easiest-to-use answer to backing up and corralling all of the disparate media files in a networked home. And delivered in this petite, relatively affordable MediaSmart Server ex745 from HP, you get plenty of storage in a well-designed hardware package. We recommend this system all the way to anyone looking to take full control of their data.
