“It’s a common problem: Your business is growing, with more
employees using more PCs, and they all need to share files and
printers, send e-mail, and connect to the Net.”
“Used to be that you’d buy an expensive server …and even hire
an IS staffer to keep it all running. But so-called thin
servers–also known as network appliances–offer server
functionality for up to 100 users at a lower price, with less
hassle.”
“We looked at four new thin servers: Cobalt’s Qube 2, Encanto’s
E.go, Compaq’s new Prosignia NeoServer, and Intel’s InBusiness
Print Station. … All four delivered their promised ease of use
and functionality.”
