HP EX475 MediaSmart Server

HP Updated: 2008-09-19 RSS

Our sleek, quiet MediaSmart Server EX475 provides remote access to files1 on the server, automatic backup of all networked PCs, media streaming3 across your home network, a photo sharing Web site, and virtually limitless storage expandability (1TB plus two empty expansion bays).

This home server is ideal if you have multiple PCs on a home network, or want the flexibility to enjoy your digital experiences from anywhere over the Internet. It is based on Microsoft's Windows Home Server operating system and supports 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) Ethernet and both wired and wireless networking (requires wireless router). AMD Live! 64-bit processing power supplies fast file access and timely backups.

Flexible and multifunctional

* Centralize and share files and media across your network
* Remotely access your files and applications from any Internet-connected computer2
* Stream photos, music, and videos to PCs on your network and TV and stereo system3
* Automatically copy iTunes music libraries from family members' PCs to the server for streaming

Photos sharing, storage, backups

* Create a photo Web site on your server with HP Photo Webshare, then share photos and video clips with only people you designate
* Invite people to your photo site: set up a personal Web address; visitors can download full-resolution photos or upload their own pics and video clips
* Automatically back up desktop PCs and laptops running Windows XP or later
* Add extra protection: designate folders that will be automatically duplicated on multiple hard drives
* Expand your storage via two internal hard-drive bays, four USB 2.0 ports, and one eSATA port
* Get peace of mind with the one-year limited warranty
* Compatibility: Windows XP or more recent Microsoft operating system

The Windows Home Server software does not currently support 64-bit client operating systems, but this solution is coming soon in a Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 software update for current and future MediaSmart Server customers.
