Hi Dave,
Your reporting 10 to 20 users. Can you confirm ? I thought WHS had a limit of 10 users.
Yes – not sure where the 20 users comes from – given its using WHS OS it will be limited to 10 clients for backups. Although more can access the shared drives I believe. The other great news is that it will be released in the Australia & New Zealand markets – good to see HP entering new geographies with WHS based products
Hey guys,
Glad you caught that. This version of WHS on the x510 is not a special one. It still has a 10 user limit.
HP is targeting 10 to 20 users due to the fact that a small business may have 20 employees but they only need 10 computers protected. I think the lingo of "10 to 20" is so they don't instantly exclude a business with more than 10 employees.
