MILTON KEYNES – June 15th, 2011 – HumuHumu today introduced their Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 solution. The HumuHumu Home Server is housed in a luxurious, eye-catching and elegantly crafted 100% aluminium case and is available in 4 stunning colours (Red, Blue, Black and Silver).
“With everyone’s life becoming more and more digital, and identity theft being a constant challenge, it’s even more important to think about how you can protect your data on your computers at home. Most households today have multiple computers with an ever increasing amount of data being stored on them daily.
Home computers don’t just have a few digital pictures now, they have tens of thousands. Song collections can number in the thousands and the ability to rip movies to hard disk means that you can create your own on demand cinema.
With an ever increasing amount of data, you need a way of protecting it, organizing it and allowing everyone in the home to access it easily. Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 is designed for households and home-based businesses to do all of that and so much more.
Microsoft Home Server 2011 takes the hassle out of protecting and sharing your data. The combination of daily PC backups, data sharing abilities and full remote access via the web will simplify your life.
What’s more, our Home Server solution is simple to use with a quick and easy 3 step process to getting it working. Just unbox, plug into your existing router and power on. Within 5 minutes you’ll be protecting your important data and in control of your digital life.
Each of our servers use green “best in class” energy efficient components. They come with a generous 2TB of disk storage, 4GB ram and the latest Intel Atom D525 64bit processor. And our stylish tiny colourful cases won’t look out of place anywhere in the house. They are also whisper quiet so you won’t hear them in your lounge, kitchen or bedroom,” said Leonard powers, technology director.
