Announced by Microsoft in January 2007, Windows Home Server (WHS) is a consumer
server option designed for use with multiple computers connected in the home.
Home Server allows you to share files such as digital photos and
media files,
and also allows you to automatically backup your home
networked computers.
Through Windows Media Connect, Windows Home Server lets you share any media
located on your WHS with compatible devices. Compatible devices in this case
basically means Vista or XP computer systems, media center devices, Windows
Mobile-based devices, and even your Xbox 360 console gaming system.The server itself requires only an Ethernet card and at least one
Windows XP
or Windows Vista PC. Through the Home Server Console, which is the
software you install
on the connected PCs, you can set all your server options
including backup details, file-sharing options so you don't need a
video_adapter.html,
or keyboard and mouse since all access is done remotely through a connected PC.
