System Requirementsīefore one can start considering the use of Windows Home Server 2011, it is worth checking out its system requirements which in my opinion are quite slim and provide the utility of upgrading an old PC to work as a home server (particularly for families). In this post we will provide a comprehensive overview of “Vail” and its capabilities that you can benefit from. A number of software and hardware add-ins can also be added in order to enhance the capability of the home server. It automatically backup all computers connected to it, hence providing a centralized backup mechanism. With Windows Home Server, Users can access and share content (including digital content) and stream media to other devices such as gaming consoles like Xbox 360.

However, The Windows Small Business Server 2011 is more suited for businesses (small businesses) rather than the Home version. Windows Home Server 2011 (aka Vail), is a home server operating system designed for families and small businesses (optionally) to securely organize and share photos, music, video, documents, etc.
