Iomega today announced their new StorCenter network attached storage products for small and medium business, powered by Windows Storage Server 2003 R2. Iomega does a good job building (and pricing) storage products that make file and print painless for small companies. This is their first solution built on R2. Windows Storage Server continues to maintain over 50% unit share in the NAS market, thanks in part to its applicability to a wide range of customer segments, with small business solutions like Iomega's all the way to enterprise offerings from OEMs like HP.

The team has noticed a few press stories and blog postings speculating about an upcoming product based on Windows Server "Longhorn" called "Fresno." We're not sure where the idea originated, but to set the record straight there is in fact no such Windows Server product in development. For now, Fresno will simply remain the "raisin capital of the world."
I am happy to announce that Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Release Candidate is available for public review. You can find more information about this release here. Here is the list of what is currently available for public download:
On the SP2 RC website, you will also find a technical overview which briefly covers the changes in SP2, system requirements, supported migration paths and SKU support matrix. Under Top 10 Reasons to Install SP2, we highlight the major value propositions of Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2003 customers.
Remember that SP2 patches Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2 and Windows XP x64 Edition.
Since we released Beta in June (which was not publicly available L ), we have been receiving very positive feedback on our quality. Well… I could not stop myself to post this Newsgroup thread:
The press is already writing up SP2. So long story short, we are good to go! Come and get the RC, try it out and let us know what you think!
Thanks
