Review summary |
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.
|
For budding small businesses or midsize companies that have already endured their growing pains, the IBM xServer 226 is a wise investment.
|
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.
