Windows Home Server

Peace of mind for your Small or Home Office

Don’t be fooled by the name. Windows Home Server was designed as a solution that is as functional in a small office setting as it is in your home. Windows Home Server is a dependable and affordable way to organize and safeguard your work for up to 10 computers.

Backup for your business

Doing the work of a dedicated IT team without the cost, Windows Home Server can automatically back up 10 computers, and entirely restore them if any should fail. You can quickly retrieve individual files, folders, or your complete computer from previous backups, in case of accidental deletion or loss.

This Microsoft article offers great information regarding how to use Windows Home Server in your Small Office/Home Office.

Windows Home Server sits behind your firewall and has strong password controls to help secure your network. Plus, with network health monitoring, it will tell you the exact condition of any computer on your network in real-time.

Centralize your data

Using Windows Home Server, you can easily manage all your data in one place, freely accessible by all the computers on your network and securely shared with others you trust outside your business.

In the office, simply click on Share Folders to access all your materials. Or, if you’re on the road, browse to your free custom URL (for example, https://contoso.homeserver.com) to quickly search and find your files.

Grow your storage as your business grows

Windows Home Server makes it easy to add more storage space. Simply add an internal or external hard drive and Windows Home Server will take care of the rest—to your business it will appear as a single repository for all your important files.

When you connect multiple hard drives, a duplicate copy of your important files will be saved for added protection. If one hard drive fails, you can simply restore the data mirrored on another hard drive—­­it's RAID made simple.

Access your work from virtually anywhere

Windows Home Server includes Internet Information Services (IIS), which allows secure access to your files via the web. This makes it easy to get your important information from outside of your office, through your securely protected personal website.
