HomeServerSync Pricing Revealed and Beta Invite

Today Tranquil have released the pricing information for their forthcoming HomeServerSync product – along with information on the beta.

Here is what Tranquil have said:

Tranquil are pleased to confirm that the HomeServerSync Suite of products is now almost out of beta.

The VPN / Sync modules are still in beta, and are working well – with just a few issues being resolved.

We have had approx 26.5TB transferred through the VPN tunnels, with over 1800 PCs connected.

VPN Beta users have enjoyed unlimited fast remote access to the WHS console / WHS RDC / WHS Shares / WHS backups etc along with RDC / folder access to all PCs  on their private VPNs – many want it forever, and are relying on the VPN for daily use !

The Sync tool is very flexible is use, and although designed for PC <> WHS synchronisation has been used for WHS <> WHS synchronisation too (ie mirroring WHS data folders) – not officially supported, but possible.

Today the HomeServerSync Offsite backup WHS Add In goes to final beta.  This module provides off site backup for the WHS device –  and the central management console for VPNs and PC / WHS Syncs.  The beta (not including the VPN / Sync components) is available now for BETA users.

Any interested beta testers should simply drop a line to  hssbeta5@homeserversync.co.uk they will get a download link and simple instructions, shortly after sending the email.  With an offer to enjoy a discount on the final released product, as a token of our appreciation.

The full product is marked for release in July 2010.  The ‘pre-order’ discount will stop just before release, and we’d like to thank everyone who has shown confidence in pre-ordering – they’ll be the first to enjoy releasing their Home Servers ‘from the LAN’.  There is a saving to be had still – visit http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/acatalog/HomeServerSync.html

We welcome BETA testers and all we ask is that they provide any feedback to beta@homeserversync.co.uk if they have any comments to make.

Normally the suite (VPN/SYNC/Offsite back of 100GB) is going to be £118.30 per year, pre-orders get this discounted down to £79 (all + VAT), which represents excellent value.

So, there you have it – I’m glad the pricing information is out now for all to see as I have been sitting on this for quite a while now under threat of torture if I told anyone!

So, not long now to wait, and why not try out the beta?

And the pre-order discount makes it impossible to turn down!

Tranquil are also doing another special offer:

“SPECIAL OFFER!!!

Your copy of HomeServerSync will be delivered to you once it is launched in July 2010. The subscription will start from the day you install the application.”
