From Interop, video of Plat' Home's Linux Server that fits i


Back



Within minutes of arriving on the Interop show floor this morning and beginning my search for something cool to videotape for publication here on ZDNet, we found Plat' Home's booth in the back of the exhibitor's area with two very cool products — both of them tiny Linux servers, one of which fits in the palm of your hand. One is called the OpenBlockS 266 and the other is the OpenMicroServer. One of Plat' Home's design principles for both was "no moving parts." As such, neither server has a hard drive in it. Both have a Plat' Home-derived distribution of Linux known as SSD loaded into the on-board memory and, according to Martin Killman who I interviewed in the video, expanding either device to have more "hard drive" space happens in one of two ways. For the OpenBlockS 266, an internal CF card can be added to grow the memory by as much as 8MB. For the OpenMicroServer (which is actually way larger in dimensions than the OpenBlockS), a CF card cannot be added internally. Instead, you would add an external hard drive through one of the two USB 2.0 ports on the edge of the device. The OpenBlockS does not have any USB ports. for more on this, visit:http://blogs.zdnet.com/Berlind/?p=860
