Recently we told you that AWIECO were getting into the server hardware game. Today they have revealed the pricing and say that the servers will be shipping during the middle of July.

This is what AWIECO posted today:

We have just opened our online shop where you can already find different models of our AWIECO Server which will be available soon. Due to a short delay, the AWIECO Server will be probably available for delivery in the middle of July.

They have now released the pricing for the 6 models.

Three Windows Home Server 2011 models:

And three Small Business Server Essentials models:

I am really excited about seeing these. AWIECO make really great add-ins, so lets hope their servers are just as great.

Here is some more information on the servers:

The new AWIECO Servers combine design, performance, low power consumption and fanless operation.

The compact and robust case made of aluminum and acrylic glass is a real eye-catcher. On the front-panel are a Power and HDD LED as well as a display, which shows status information about the CPU usage or LAN utilization for example. Big cooling rips on the side of the server provide an optimum cooling of the CPU and the entire server. Moreover, a special passive hard disk cooling system is on the top. The temperature of the hard drives is constantly monitored and if the temperature reaches the limit caused for example by high workload or high ambient temperature, then two silent security fans will become active in case of necessity to ensure a fast cooling of the system.

Inside either an Intel Atom processor of the latest generation is working or for more demanding users an Intel Core i3 or i5 Sandy Bridge processor. On the back of the server up to 5 hard drives can be added quickly and easily. Through the support of 3TB hard disks up to 15TB can be used in total of storage for the own data. The 64-Bit operating system Windows Home Server 2011 or Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials is preinstalled on a separate 24×7 optimized hard disk inside the case.

Specifications of AWIECO Servers:

Processor	Intel Atom or Intel Core i3 / i5 Sandy Bridge
RAM	4 to 8 GB DDR3
Storage Hard Disks	5 x 3,5” bays (up to 15TB storage capacity)
Primary Hard Disk	1 x 2,5” internal, 24/7 optimized disk for system
LAN	Gigabit LAN
LCD	2×16 lines blue colored display
Weight	4,5 to 10kg
Dimensions	20cm (h) x 24cm (w) x 24cm (d)
Warranty	1 year
Operating system	Microsoft® Windows Home Server 2011 (OEM 64-Bit) Microsoft® Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (OEM 64-Bit)
Included in delivery	Preinstalled OS, External 10A power supply, LAN cable, Quick-guide, System restore CD/DVD

StableBit DrivePool for Windows Home Server Build 1914 Now Available

The latest beta version of the Windows Home Server Drive Extender replacement StableBit DrivePool build 1914 has just been released.

Combine all your hard drives into one big storage pool (except the system drive with the OS).
Add and remove drives from the pool at any time without re-partitioning or manually moving folders.

All your data is stored in standard NTFS files. You can always access your files even if the Windows Home Server completely crashes or this add-in can’t be used.

The changes in this version are:

1.0.0.1914 (restart required if upgrade) ———-

* Added DrivePool.Comm.dll cleanup code.

* [D] Updated move file code for previous fix.

* Fixed file merge move and replace (Win 7+).

Sony Launch New VAIO Z Series Notebook – Sony’s MacBook Air?

Today saw the launch of Sony’s new notebook, the extremely lightweight and slim VAIO Z series. Is this Sony’s MacBook Air? But sit down before you look at the price!

Thin, ultra-light 13.1” notebook PC with innovative new Power Media Dock

· 33.2cm (13.1”) VAIO Z Series: less than 1.2 kg and 16.65mm slim with stunning design and smart battery concept

· Business-class power with latest standard voltage Intel® Core™ i7 processors and fast SSD storage

· High-resolution (1600×900) anti-reflective VAIO Display Premium

· Optional sheet battery gives up to 14hr stamina¹ with quick charge

· Power Media Dock™ ² with quad video monitor support, AMD Radeon™ HD graphics, optical drive and extra ports including HDMI™ out

· Quick Boot gets you working in seconds

Weighing little over a kilogram, the new VAIO Z Series notebook PC from Sony is created for mobile professionals who demand absolute performance and portability.

VAIO Z blends ultra-desirable styling and premium carbon fibre with no-compromise specifications and innovative productivity features. In the office or on the road, this class-leading business notebook helps demanding users work more efficiently with the ultimate in on-the-move computing power.

All-new VAIO Z takes cutting-edge styling by Sony to new extremes, with a ‘full flat’ body and display lid that are crafted in tough, ultra-light carbon fibre. At just below 1.2kg and 16.65mm slim, the new VAIO Z is the perfect partner for business travellers who demand ultimate power with less to carry.

Sheet battery

VAIO Z features the innovative ‘sheet battery’ already showcased on this year’s VAIO S Series. The notebook’s internal lithium polymer battery provides power for up to 7 hours¹ on-the-go computing. It’s partnered by a second thin, flat optional lithium polymer sheet battery that can be charged separately from the PC and added without removing the internal battery. The sheet battery attaches without having to switch off the PC, boosting stamina to up to 14 hours for day-and-night working, even if you’re far from mains power.

Those are some pretty big claims from Sony about the battery life! If they can live up to their claims, then they might have a winner on their hands. That is assuming you can get over the massive £2,699 price tag. Yes, that’s right, £2,699. You can get nearly 2 MacBook Air’s for that (or more if you want the lower spec one’s). To be fair, the price does start at £1,434 but that won’t get you the spec you would really drool over!

It will be interesting to see what Apple come up with as the rumours of new MacBook Air’s are already circulating.

Office 365 Launched and No Longer a Beta

Office 365 Launched and No Longer a Beta

This morning we posted about some video resources for Microsoft’s Office 365. Well today is also the day that Office 365 is launched and is no longer a beta!

What Is Office 365?

According to Microsoft:

It’s anywhere access to email, documents, contacts, and calendars so you’re always up-to-date. It’s familiar Microsoft productivity applications your team already uses. It’s business-class security and reliability. It’s IT control and efficiency delivered to fit your organization’s unique needs. And it’s an all in one pay-as-you-go service with an affordable price. But that’s just the beginning.

Cost wise, Office 365 for professionals and small businesses if just £4 per month (under Plan P) and for that you get a 25 GB mailbox with 25 MB attachments with Exchange Online, and much more. For me, that is worth it just for the Exchange account! This is also on a month to month subscription basis so no more long term contracts!

I have been using Office 365 during the months of the beta and I was very happy with it.

In fact, I am in the process now of signing up properly.
