In today’s HP Bloggers Event 2011, I got to see and play with one of the new HP Proliant Microserver, I am a fan of the concept, anything we can do to make the technology more accessible or improve functionality at a price point has to be a good thing. There are more pictures from the event here.
If you haven’t heard about the Microserver or would like more information, check out this url, or read the quickspecs here.
Last time I had something like this was a Buffalo 1TB Terastation. This died a horrible death after the raid controller failed and corrupted the entire unit. Most of data was backed up and the stuff that wasn’t I have not really missed.
Terastation downsides was
Noise
Authentication methods
Bespoke O/S
