CES 2007: HP MediaSmart Server
HP’s MediaSmart Server was announced as part of Bill Gates’ keynote last night. It looks rather dashing, and runs Windows Home Server, a variant of Windows Server 2003. The box has a few USB ports and a network port and that’s about it. It comes with an install disc that lets you interface to it through the network, allowing you to configure which media is shared, and how. It includes a neat psuedo-RAID, psuedo-JBOD (just a bunch of discs) approach, that allows file- and folder-specific replication at your choosing, and hot swapability, to boot. (Heh.) They don’t have the full launch config specs down, but we’re guessing 700+ GB, 2GB RAM and probably not terribly expensive, since you don’t have a pricey SLI graphics solution to include. It’s ready to launch, Q2 2007.

HP has very little value in this product. only media server and administration software
makes it different from other entry-level SOHO servers. But in this area, MS hat a lot to
catch up.
I’ve tried and tested at my home several MS media server solutions, starting from Media
Connect 2.0 and Media Player 11, which has Media Connect 3.0 in his belly.
Problem with MS media servers is that they are really slow and resource (CPU and
RAM) demanding. Forget runing them on old Celeron PC, beefed up with large HDD as
home server. Music interrupts and navigating in huge collections is pain
My favourite media server, having tried many, is TwonkyMedia from TwonkyVision. Good
navigation help thanks to Artist Index and Album Index, plus small footprint.
