| The Bottom Line | This server's solid components, economical price, and lack of manageability software make it most appropriate for budget-minded small businesses with just a few employees. | As long as you don't need dual processors, the PowerEdge 830 will aptly serve your small to medium-size business. | For budding small businesses or midsize companies that have already endured their growing pains, the IBM xServer 226 is a wise investment. | Microsoft's Windows Home Server is the best, easiest-to-use answer to backing up and corralling all of the disparate media files in a networked home. And delivered in this petite, relatively affordable MediaSmart Server ex745 from HP, you get plenty of storage in a well-designed hardware package. We recommend this system all the way to anyone looking to take full control of their data. | The HP MediaSmart Server LX195 is a great network storage and backup device for home users. The device offers stellar performance, and great backup and remote access options for a reasonable price. |
