Gen8 Microserver Firmware, Synology, Thecus, QNAP, and Deals on Home Server Show 252




The Home Server Show Podcast show

Summary: This one has a little of everything.  I've got a great panel of guests here to talk Servers, NAS, and everything in between. I'll fill you in on a Server Essentials 2012 R2 build.  John Stutsman fills us in on some changes that HP has made concerning customers and firmware downloads, Christopher Kenney joins to chat about Thecus and QNAP, and first time Gordon Schmidt is talking Synolgy and DSM 5.0 Beta. Great conversations on servers, NAS, the forums, and more.  Enjoy and see you in the HSS Forums!
