Home Server SMART 2015

Small servers are great for home and small businesses, but disk failures can turn those servers into expensive nightmares. Don't let a disk failure turn your server solution into an expensive nightmare. Protect your data with Home Server SMART 2015!

Built on the proven Home Server SMART Classic

Home and small business servers are great for computer backups and storing data on site. However, many of these home servers are loaded with disks, and the more disks you have, the higher your probability of having a disk failure. Home Server SMART 2015 monitors the disk health around the clock, so you can worry about more important things. If a disk shows signs of trouble, HSS 2015 will let you know in an email and on your mobile device. HSS 2015 will even attempt to back up the data if a disk signals it's about to fail.

Home Server SMART 2015 shares much of the same functionality as WindowSMART 2015. However, HSS 2015 runs only on select Microsoft operating systems. HSS 2015 is designed to run as an add-in, rather than a standalone application, in Windows Home Server 2011, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials and Windows Server 2012 Essentials (including R2).

Home Server SMART 2015 is competely free to use forever. We made the promise with the first release of HSS that it was free and always would be. We're sticking to that promise.

Geeky, technical stuff about Home Server SMART 2015

Home Server SMART 2015 is supported only on select versions of Windows--those that comprise the "Windows Server Solutions" family of operating systems. The WSS family includes only the following four operating systems.

  • Windows Home Server 2011
  • Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials
  • Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials
  • Windows Server 2012 Essentials
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

Home Server SMART 2015 will work with most small servers as well as desktops and laptops running the above operating systems. If you are using an enterprise-class server machine or a high-end gaming desktop, there's a good chance that server or desktop will have disks attached to hardware RAID, SAS disks, or both hardware RAID and SAS. Home Server SMART 2015, unfortunately, does not support hardware RAID, and SAS support is very limited.
