And as we have hinted, there were things we were sworn to secrecy about, including the pricing.
Well I am very happy that the pricing can now be revealed.
HomeServerSync – pricing is revealed below.
The brand new architecture delivers not only unique features – very secure routed network paths, real time synchronisation, RAID protected off site backups etc – but also exciting ‘remote’ user features to keep multi-user family / small business user data up to date, all of the time.
The HomeServerSync Suite :
10x client licences for Secure Synchronisation from/to Home Server unit (local or remote)
10x client licences to access WHS functions – console/backups/shares (remote)
1x WHS console application licence (management/sync/backup control)
1x 100GB off site backup facility
1x User web portal for access/control
The annual subscription for the HomeServerSync package will be £139.00 / annum.

So what do you think? Is this something you are interested in?
Expect a full review of the add-in and the service soon, which is officially available in July.
UPDATE: When you take out your subscription, use the Promo code U098 and instead of getting a 12 month subscription, you will get an extra 100 days free! So you will get 15 months for the price of 12 – now that is a good deal! See here for details.
Yes, VERY interested. If they have a pre-launch order setup I'm ready. I have been waiting for a product like this. Thanks Tranquil!
Mark – news for you.
