Tool for Windows Home Server

Microsoft has just released an application programming interface (API) and software development for the upcoming Windows Home Server platform in the near future.

AIP and developer tools will help external software design professionals create applications for the platform. The software itself is currently in beta 2 and the first tools are scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2007, priced at $ 600 to $ 1,200.

The AIP suite allows software to run on the host device to access clients, share folders, application directory management disks, hard drives, backup jobs, and notifications. Developers can also add tabs to the management console of the Home Server management software to allow users to run new applications.

First released at the CeBIT Exhibition held in Las Vegas in January 2007, Windows Home Server allows customers to store data from multiple systems and allow access to data over an internal network and over the Internet. .

Windows Home Server software is a version adapted from Windows Home Server 2003. It is designed to run on specialized devices with multiple hard drives but lacks a keyboard or screen. Users control this device via a network connection that uses a monitor screen from a Windows client.

While the first version of the software focused on storing data, Microsoft earlier announced that it expects the device to be able to run additional applications in its home automation and security space. family.
