Hi,
Im looking to build a home server to achieve the following:
Home business environment to:
- share documents between 3 machines
- run subversion software
- run some web based business applications (either over Java or PHP using MySQL dataserver)
- allow access to files over the internet
And also use it to serve up media throughout the house. Specifically:
- Media server for PS3.
- Itunes server
- Slimserver
- Generally allow access to media content from the various PCs
The server has to be able to run in RAID mode to backup the business content (media content not so important).
I currently have SYnology NAS for my media and file sharing needs, however it is not powerful enough/lacking the ability to run as a proper server for the business applications I require (plus Slimserver is way too slow).
My question is:
Which hardware and OS would you recommend. The following are my hardware requirements:
- Low power usage
- Quiet
- Small Form Factor
thanks in advance
