Media Server Boasts 3 Tb of Storage, Touch-Screen Monitor, and Acronis True Image Software for Backup and Disaster Recovery
January 11, 2006, LAS VEGAS Ace
Computers/Ace Digital home (http://www.acedigitalhome.com),
a nationally recognized systems builder dedicated to providing
customers with the latest technology customized to meet their
needs, announced that its LHS IIHD Limited Media Server won
a Best of Innovation Award for the 2006 Consumer Electronics
Show.
The honor, in the Integrated Home Systems
Category, is among the top honors available at what has become on
of the nation's most influential technology trade shows. Some 2,400
exhibitors and approximately 140,000 attended the show.
"Being named as Best in Innovation represents
not only a huge honor, but also validates that building a
best-of-class system means selecting the best hardware and
software," said John Samborski, vice president of Ace Computers.
"From a hardware perspective, we used the new Intel Viiv technology
platform along with a Best of the Best level of components,
starting with the Intel Pentium D processor, combined with
ISF-certified graphics from ATI, 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, and of to 3 TB
of disk storage using SATA II disk drives. We use LightScribe,
multilayer DVD burners with options for Blu-Ray and HD DVD when
available, four TV tuners (two of which are HDTV), Dolby Master
Studio-certified audio and a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
"Since this is a media center system, we used
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center operating system, but we went a
step further," Samborski said. "We realize that users will be
putting their memories and favorite films on this computer, so we
configured the disk storage as 50 percent of user data and 50
percent for backing up the system using the Ace 3D backup system we originally developed for the US Navy for
backup up servers on submarines. We also preinstalled Acronis True
Image 9.0, the latest version of the award-winning disk imaging
software, to ensure that users have a reliable, built-in backup
system.
"Great hardware alone isn't enough; a truly
outstanding system uses only the best hardware and software that is
preconfigured to provide a superior entertainment experience,"
Samborski continued.
"With a more than 1,000 entries from 160
companies, the Innovations program continues to grow in size and
prestige year after year," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of
Consumer Electronics Association, the organization that sponsors
the CES show. "Innovations has become a hallmark for the best
designed products in consumer technology and we are excited to
showcase this year's honorees at the 2006 International CES."
"Acronis is proud to support Ace Computers and
congratulates the company on its well-deserved recognition for
innovation," said Stephen Lawton, director of marketing for
Acronis. "The LHS IIHD Limited Media Server not only is an
achievement in advanced hardware, but ACE also had the foresight to
recognize that users need to back up their media files. By building
the capability directly into the system, it makes backup simple and
convenient."
