Hardware: HP MicroServer Specs

The HP ProLiant MicroServer (as it is officially known) is an excellent “starter” or home server.

The official website link can be found here. To quote the site:

You have multiple versions of files floating around the company and maintaining control of document versions is becoming a challenge – there is no central data storage. You need to improve communication and work processes with employees or customers. You want to make sure that you can make the most of your existing computers and office equipment.

The HP ProLiant MicroServer is a general purpose server that can provide a platform to organize and safeguard your business information, allow effective communication with customers and make the most of your existing office equipment and resources. The HP MicroServer is a cost effective starter server for businesses with less than 10 clients and it can take your business to the next level of productivity and efficiency.

They have a detailed specification website that can be found here. To briefly quote the site:
