966882961 Fujitsu Siemens to Announce Scaleo Hardware for Windows Home Server

Looks like Fujitsu-Siemens will be joining the roster of OEMs supplying Windows Home Server hardware at launch, according to German website, PC Games Hardware.

In a preview to next month’s IFA in Berlin (the World’s largest consumer electronics fair), the site reports that the company will be launching a 500Gb WHS system under the Scaleo brand, christened (unsurprisingly) the Scaleo Home Server.

As expected, the system will be fully headless, and will retail at a very reasonable 500 euros (£338/£688).

Here’s the article via Google Translate:

“With the Windows Home server wants to store Microsoft pictures, films, Backups and other data central also in private households with several PCs. Fujitsu Siemens will supply the hardware now as one of the first manufacturers in addition. The Scaleo Home server is integrated simply by gigabyte Ethernet in the network and administered by Web ACCESS. Keyboard and monitor are not necessary. The current consumption is to be below 50 Watts and the price as approximately 500 euro is indicated. But you get 500 gigabyte storage location in the RAID group.”

Fujitsu-Siemens are yet to announce anything officially via their website at this point, so stay tuned for more.

    “Dafür bekommen Sie 500 Gigabyte Speicherplatz im RAID-Verbund.” ( = “But you can get 500 GB storage in the RAID group.”)

    Very strange. Very strange indeed for a RAID-less system.

    I wonder if the magazine is using the term “RAID” loosely?

  • Terry Walsh

    That was my assumption – perhaps the system comes with 2 x 250 Gb drives and they’ve mistakenly assumed it was a RAID configuration.

    Today chip.de has got a news saying that Fujitsu Siemens are going to sell the Home Server with 2x500GB in a raid for around 700 €

    they have got a proto type picture…

    From my point of view they will not sell a great number of units for that price

    Cheers,

    EDIT:

    They say that FS is going to sell their WHS with two 250GB Drives in a raid.

    Still, as long as I have got WHS duplication I do not need Raid.

  • Terry Walsh

    The RAID thing is strange, as Drive Extender appears to do the same job… thanks for the update re: the prototype pic, Lars!
