I'd like to setup a PMS for a small hotel, about 20 rooms.
My idea is to equip all rooms with Apple TV.
Facts
- about 20 Apple TV's 4rd generation running Plex client
- probably not all will use Plex at the same time
- complete free choice to choose whatever I want to run PMS.
- all content is local present on the harddrive, but a lot of files probably need transcoding.
- all rooms have their own gigabit connection on fiber.
My questions
- build my own box or buy something off the shelve
- what OS/platform is preferable if I have the choice (NAS, Win, Linux, ...)
- technicallities on level of network card, cpu, chipset, harddrive, memory
- are there any extra expansions available to get workload off the cpu?
Thanks so much for any pointers, good or bad.
