Ace Displays MMS5 Media Server for Videophiles – CES 2015 Update

This week at CES 2015 in Las Vegas, we got a chance to check out Ace, a company that specializes in enterprise server solutions as well as high-end Media Servers, which they sell only to re-sellers.

As many will know, Media Servers and HTPCs are not as big of a market as they use to be, due in large part to Smart TVs, and devices like the Roku box. So, it very refreshing to see a company like Ace still in the sector, and continuing to innovate.
