Well there are numerous differences. ...Hi Matthew,<br /><br />Well there are numerous differences. To highlight a few:<br />-EON installs, boots and is fully configured in minutes. This process would take hours for a beginner with a full install.<br />-A great deal of the storage and services are pre-configured to best practices. Again something that would take time for someone new to research and configure through trial and error.<br />-EON makes it easy to cut straight to storing data with enterprise grade features. A full install, you are responsible for maintaining and restoring (in a failure scenario) the OS. Restoring or re-installing would take a good deal of time.<br /><br />What is best, only you can truly determine. You have to evaluate your requirements and see which aligns more with your vision and comfort.Andre Luehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886037020375947489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730844193902134967.post-17679688859676374302010-04-21T11:56:23.008-07:002010-04-21T11:56:23.008-07:00Hi,
