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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t afford an in-house guy, these save a lot of mucking around with management tools and third-party solutions like <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.logmein.com\/welcome\/get_logmein_free\/signup.asp\">logmein<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/ultravnc\">VNC<\/a>. 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&#8217;t have that.<\/p>\n<p>You heard it here first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve seen that Tranquil PC have adopted the Home PC as a product and have done a really good job &hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/?p=75\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[3,8],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=75"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=75"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=75"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=75"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
