Velocity Micro Product Development Update
Posted by
At Velocity Micro, we have a plethora of new products in the lab that we can’t wait to launch. For those of you that don’t know, I am the new Product Development Manager here at VM. I have been with the company for a year now, and most of that time has been spent working in the Product Development Department. I look forward to the incredible potential we have to create a diverse product line and provide those offerings to a unique set of customers. One of the challenges we face, and have excelled at over the past months and years, is the ability to cater to the main stream market while retaining our reputation with the enthusiast crowd. We have a number of products releasing in the months ahead that will tie our product lines together and merge sectors of the market that have previously been isolated – it’s all VERY exciting. As this is my inaugural blog post, I will give you an update on our newest product in the lab – Windows Home Server. Windows Home Server is by far the one product that has me eagerly awaiting its release. Home Server carries a big punch in a small package; it will give you the ability to control your entire household from a central location, and even has remote control capabilities. Here is a brief run-down of the features: - Organize your information in one central place - Automatic daily backups of your home PCs - Ability to restore lost files or an entire PC - Access all files on your Home Server from any networked PC in your house - Share photos and home videos through a personalized web address (for example: velocitymicro.homeserver.com) - Easy and quick setup - Expandable storage space for future use

Thanks for your feedback. We are currently validating the new firmware and should be releasing it shortly.
Keep checking the blog for updates!

Can you tell us what this plethora consists of, besides Windows home Server? When you guys bought Overdrive PC, you said on your website that Velocity Micro would be selling systems that utilized Overdrive's overclocking technique. But so far, I haven't seen anything on your website about that since. I was also wondering when you'd be offering pcs with the new Intel X38 Express chipset motherboards, DDR3 memory and liquid or TEC cooling for Intel quad core cpus.
We are tentatively planning on a public release of WHS in the beginning of December. A few reasons to buy from us: available sooner, 100% U.S. based tech support (the same support any other system from us offers), and scalability.
Anonymous,
Unfortunately right now I can't divulge any specifics about our plans but can assure you that everything in question is on the way shortly. Expect a new post soon about exact timelines and details.
