Windows Home Server 仍在進行 BETA 測試，預計正式產品會在2007年下半年上市。
[编辑] 特點
[编辑] 操作介面由於此作業系統是建基於 Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2，進階設定的介面將會以較人性化的設計為基礎，達到不需較專業的伺服器管理者才能維護該系統。該進階設定的介面(稱呼為Home Server 主控台)能夠從任何相同家庭網路內的Windows個人電腦，使用網路瀏覽器來存取或變更設定值。此伺服器是設計成只需要一張乙太網路卡和另一台使用Windows XP或Windows Vista的電腦，所以伺服器甚至不需要顯示卡或其他週邊設備就能操作。 [编辑] 技術Windows Home Server 的程式碼來自於 Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2. 所以 Windows Home Server 的技術幾乎跟 Windows Server 2003 一樣, 但為了減低不必要的複雜性, 某些地方被簡化了. 它也有新的能力是 Windows Server 2003 沒有的: Windows Home Server Drive Extender 是一個以檔案為基礎的 replication system, 提供三種關鍵能力:
Users (specifically those who configure a family's home server) deal with storage at two levels: Shared Folders and Disks. The only concepts relevant regarding disks is whether they have been "added" to the home server's storage pool or not and whether the disk appears healthy to the system or not. This is in contrast with Windows' Logical Disk Manager which requires a greater degree of technical understanding in order to correctly configure a RAID array. Shared Folders have a name, a description, permissions, and a flag indicating whether duplication (redundancy) is on or off for that folder. If duplication is on for a Shared Folder (which is the default on multi-disk Home Server systems) then the files in that Shared Folder are duplicated. By default, all of the files stored on a Windows Home Server are duplicated and the effective storage capacity is halved. However, in situations where a user may not want data duplicated (e.g. TV shows that have been archived to a Windows Home Server from a system running Windows Media Center), Drive Extender provides the capability to not duplicate such files if the server is short on capacity. Windows Home Server Computer Backup automatically backs up all of the computers in a home to the server using an image-based system that ensures point-in-time-based restoration of either entire PCs or specific files and folders. This technology uses Single Instance Storage technology that works at the cluster level to minimize the amount of data that travels over the network and is stored on the home server. [编辑] 相容性Windows Home Server的各項操作只需要在Windows XP與Windows Vista的電腦上安裝軟體即可。它也能夠以Windows share 的模式使用於Mac OS X或是其他非Windows作業系統。像是Mac OSX Leopard的Time Machine，"We're a great back-end store for Time Machine," Microsoft product manager Todd Headrick told Paul Thurrott. [编辑] 價格與 AvailabilityHP 將於 2007 年第二季發表一種 Home Server 的產品 (現階段叫 "HP MediaSmart Server"). 以 64 位元的 AMD 處理器, 標榜 AMD Live! 品牌, 號稱可擴充到 6 terabytes 的儲存空間. 有四個內部 HDD 和四個 USB 2.0 埠. In a Channel 9 video interview, Windows Home Server General Manager Charlie Kindel said that early Home Servers will cost about the same as a low-end PC, or around $500. [编辑] 參考資料
