DataCore also announced the timing for the public beta for DriveHarmony, the add-in that they are bringing to market to augment WHS2011’s disk drive management features. Read on for details!
Earlier today, we brought you the news that DataCore has named their add-in product and has announced the start date for the OEM beta. In a prior post, we disclosed that the beta process would begin with an OEM beta at the beginning of May and that a public beta would start soon thereafter. Carlos Carreras contacted me this afternoon to announce that the public beta will begin on 16 May 2011. This is consistent with the approach that we reported to you on 15 April.
Also, he gave us a little insight into the name that was used for the add-in. In Carlos’ own words:
So mark your calendars for 16 May and prepare to download the beta. DataCore is looking for help in ensuring that the user interface in particular is easy to use and functional, and would appreciate your involvement in the public beta.
DataCore Technology DriveHarmony Announcement
DriveHarmony – Not to be confused with Harmonic Drive …
Lets see what happens today if they release it for not.
From what I have seen so far its just a software raid solution and not a actuall DE replacement as in whsv1…
As DataCore are at TechEd this week in Atlanta, I wouldnt be surprised if this slips a week.
Actually, I expect them to announce something at Tech Ed. Continue watching this space!
Thanks Jim 🙂
