Windows Storage Server 2012 - Can I Install One, Solitary Program?
-
Looking for a low cost PC/Server/Storage solution to run IP Camera Software...I already have a very robust Seagate Business Storage NAS running Windows Storage Server 2012. Having just gone through a Microsoft Self-Audit, I am already doubting I can get another one of these and load the IP Camera software suite on it, right? Not so much the CPU but the licensing...It will cost about $700-$800 more to build a tower server with Windows 2012 R2 but then I get the benefit of virtualization too...just looking for cost cutting ideas...
Thanks...

I believe that from a licensing perspective that you can do that. Better to get IP Camera software for Linux, of course.

This NAS has a Dual Core Atom Processor...minimum for this software is "Intel
Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz or higher (CoreTM 2 recommended)", so I am good there...I think...LOL...no really knowing how heavy duty the Atom is... -
Or how light duty the Pentium 4 was.

We need the storage, not only for the video but I can always use storage...and this NAS has been proven and tested at my home and work and I like it. At worse, if the atom can't handle the software, I'll throw it on another machine...

You may notice slowdowns as those NAS units use the Atom processor to handle the parity RAID system.
