Windows Home Server 2011 Dashboard
Windows Home Server 2011, code named Vail,[2] is a home server operating system by Microsoft designed for small office/home offices[3] and homes with multiple connected PCs to offer protected file storage, file sharing, automated PC backup, remote access, and remote control of PC desktops.[4] It was released on 6 April 2011[1][5][6] following the release of Power Pack 3 for its aging predecessor, Windows Home Server. Windows Home Server 2011 is the last Windows Home Server release[7] and was succeeded by Windows Server 2012 Essentials.[8]
Windows Home Server 2011 is based on Windows Server 2008 R2 and requires x86-64 CPUs (64-bit), while its predecessor worked on the older IA-32 (32-bit) architecture as well. Coupled with fundamental changes in the structure of the client backups and the shared folders, there is no clear method for migrating from the previous version to Windows Home Server 2011.[9]
