VIA offers new SOHO/SMB server




VIA loves making product with it's own product. And why not? They launch EPIA boards that are perfect for certain purposes, why not make the product as well as recommend it? The new VIA M'SERV S2100 looks like an ARTiGO. It's definitely the same box. Inside there a 1.3GHz VIA Nano processor, all the usual other specs, and enough storage space for up to four terabytes of storage.

"This makes the VIA M’SERV S2100 capable of addressing many traditional and next-generation server applications including sophisticated backup, cloud-intermediary service roles along with other storage oriented server applications such as NVR (Network Video Recorder) systems and Log servers."

The system is being pitched towards SOHO and SMB server needs. It reminds me somewhat of the Dell servers from last year that featured VIA Nano processors. The processors are often overlooked for the server market but are actually well suited to small business and home office server applications. The M'SERV offers a compact solution which is, as the Press Release title states, "Big on the Inside, Small on the Outside".
