HP Refreshes ProLiant MicroServer With Upgraded Processor, SBS 2011 Essentials Option
Say what you like about HP’s basket case consumer PC and Tablet strategy, when it comes to servers, the company’s ducks remain in a row. As proof, take a look at the 2011 HP ProLiant MicroServer, which has been announced this week.
Hands On: HumuHumu Home Server
With a dearth of Windows Home Server 2011 solutions on the market from big brand OEMs, a number of system builders have popped up (particularly in Europe) offering a range of models from the humble to the powerful. The UK’s HumuHumu is one such start-up. Launched earlier in the year, the company specialises in WHS 2011 solutions, which boils down to a single configuration at this point (available in a choice of colours). Let’s take a look at it.

LaCie Unwraps All New NAS OS 2.0 Software for Network Storage
It used to be that Network Attached Storage devices were simple beasts. You get your device, you drop in your storage, connect it up and you’re done. The odd bug fix download, sure, but the feature set you bought was the feature set you kept. Not any more. We’re now in the era of NAS devices running their own, bespoke operating systems. Following in the footsteps of Synology and Q-NAP in releasing OS updates recently is LaCie, whose NAS OS 2.0 is now available to download and install on the company’s Network 2 range.

Windows Home Server 2011 Update Rollup 1 Now Available: What’s Coming?
You’ve heard of Service Packs and Power Packs – how about Update Rollups? Well, Windows Home Server 2011 owners, it’s an Update Rollup that’s on its way to you today, courtesy of Windows Update.

Add-in Update: Squeezebox Server v7.6.1
Logitech have pushed out another update to their Squeezebox Server software, which controls the Squeezebox range of digital audio receivers.
