I’ve seen that Tranquil PC have adopted the Home PC as a product and have done a really good job of it. What you get is a silent, wall-mounted appliance that draws very little power and generates almost no noise. It gives you backup, PC health monitoring, windows updates and remote control.
This is all good stuff for the power user at home but what about using it as a business tool? For all those small businesses out there that need IT support but can’t afford an in-house guy, these save a lot of mucking around with management tools and third-party solutions like logmein or VNC. Really should investigate this idea for my off-and-on IT consultancy, OrangeTeapot.com. A managed service around one of these devices would easily pay for the unit within six months and provide much needed backup and desktop recovery for a lot of businesses that today don’t have that.
You heard it here first.
