Alienware has unveiled a high-definition media server, targeting homes with terabytes of digital content storage.
Systems integrators, distributors and even home builders can now join the Alienware Digital Home Channel Program to become an authorised reseller of the media server. The Alienware High Definition Media Server integrates with home entertainment systems to create a centralised source for the storage, retrieval and distribution of digital content.
Offering up to 4TB capacity, the server can store a lifetime's worth of digital movies, music, photos and more, all of which can be sent to multiple points throughout the home. Users can stream files wirelessly or via a home network to any computer in the house, while an array of audio and video outputs deliver limitless possibilities.
This server actually runs Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, which should provide greater digital media experience with Media Center, but allow for the great automated backup and security features and remote access available with Windows Home Server.
