Tranquil Still Committed to Window Home Server

Following yesterdays shock announcement from Microsoft about the removal of Drive Extender from Windows Home Server Code Name Vail and Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, Tranquil PC has announced that they are still committed to Windows Home Server.

Here is what Tranquil posted on their blog:

The good news is that Tranquil are committed to WHS – and have no plans to stop WHS production or support.  Tranquil supply the widest range of WHS appliances, from single drive (T7) units right up to 40TB (SuperStor) systems.

Additionally, although it can’t be confirmed yet (here), I know that some of the file management technology used in HomeServerSync has already been tested in anticipation of providing folder duplication functions (either locally, in LAN, or on WAN) for enhanced WHS V2.  The tech used (a sort of real time RAID-1) has already been shown to provide real time folder protection, and is very fast as only the changes (not deltas) in files are effected (especially good for WAN backup).

The issue of ‘DE’ and management of different sized drives – being ‘added’ or ‘removed’ is a challenge (even it seems for Microsoft) – expect an update here, once I get news that Tranquil have that function on track too.

We will have more news on this in the near future, so keep checking UWHS.
