Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo Home Server to arrive at IFA

Word on the street is that Fujitsu-Siemens is going to introduce its first entry into the not-so-crowded Windows Home Server market under the Scaleo brand at this year's IFA conference in late August. The Scaleo Home Server will feature headless operation under Vista Home Server, a two disk 500GB SATA RAID array, gigabit Ethernet, and Energy Star 4.0-compliant energy usage of just 50W. Price estimates are ranging from €500 ($690) to €700 ($965), and availability is hazily pegged at "by the end of the year" -- projections that match the awesome blurriness of this render.

That kind of makes no sense. WHS isn't supposed to use RAID, that kind of defeats the whole point of WHS devices. And at that price, good luck!

Incorporate some SSD technology and it may gain some popularity

I already do this with an extra "P4" small footprint pc running linux & a
kvm switch. Oh, the cost was $0$..
Can't get over these companies that keep rolling out
junk that is so terrbily overpriced. Hard to think that there's that many people out there who would waste this kind of money..
