Windows Home Server 2011 goes RTM

Windows Home Server 2011 just went RTM. It will be available to TechNet and MSDN subscribers within a week. Its official publication is expected to take place in May. Built on Windows Server 2008 R2, this second version of Windows Home Server responds codenamed Vail and has a command handler and a centralized center to consolidate off the launch of tasks.

His warning system has also been optimized, as its backup system for home machines, whether Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. Access to files should be faster, and this new version also brings a takeover remote and software for streaming content using Silverlight to send multimedia files from its server to the other terminals of the house.

However much we regret the abandonment of Drive Extender, which allowed to combine multiple hard drives of any brand and capacity to unite in one volume, without any need to manage a RAID or other complex system. It was one of the most popular features, but Microsoft has stopped, presumably to avoid competing with itself for its products to storage servers.
