With its solid aluminum enclosure and thermo-regulated Noctua fan, it also offers an efficient cooling system that provides whisper-quiet operation and long-lasting durability.With Connector, the included backup client software, 5big Office+ automates backups of your office computers, from individual files - even open ones - to the entire system. And with support for incremental backups, only changed or new files will be backed up for quick and efficient operation. The 5big also supports data deduplication, which ensures that only one copy of a given file is saved on the server, maximizing storage. Additionally, you'll be able to connect external hard drives via USB or eSATA or use the integrated backup engine to further protect the server's data. Being powered by Microsoft Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials, the 5big aggregates shared folders from multiple servers, reducing network complexity by creating a single entry point to your data. The array can replicate data from one file server to several other servers via DFS-R, making the 5big an ideal solution for branch offices. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports support link aggregation for enhanced transfer speeds.The 5big Office+ promotes in and out of office collaboration. It is able to serve files to any computer on the network using most any operating system, including Windows, Mac and Linux. Users can also access files from the road using Windows' remote access feature. A three-month, 100GB trial of Wuala secure cloud storage comes included with the 5big. This service allows you to securely store and back up your files online and access them from anywhere. It also allows you to sync your files across multiple computers and smartphones, making sure they are up-to-date on every device.- Powered by Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials

Thanks to its Active Directory support, the 5big offers full support for most any SMB, NFS and FTP infrastructures as well as DHCP Client, IPv4 and IPv6 network protocols. It also supports data deduplication, which ensures only one copy of a given file is saved on the server, maximizing efficiency and storage. Thanks to Windows domain support, all you need is half a minute to join the 5big to an existing domain. Importing and syncing users, groups and permissions is an easy, one-time step. Restoring a file or even a whole workstation operating system is no sweat. Courtesy of robust versioning management, you're able to prevent data loss in the event an employee unwittingly deletes a critical file. What's more is you can browse all your saved files and choose the one you'd like to restore. If a workstation hard drive should fail, restore the whole system without an issue. An intuitive wizard guides you through the process of making a reinstallation DVD or USB key, helping you restore the damaged system to the precise state of the most recent backup.
- Distance Data from Threats
- For an extra layer of data protection, you have the ability to back up data to a remote site. Stop local technical issues or acts of God from causing downtime with NAS-to-DAS backups. Just set up automatic backups to a connected DAS, which you can then move to a secure location. Alternatively, you could eliminate the need for human intervention and automate this task via NAS-to-NAS backups, enabling you to schedule frequent backups to another NAS in another room or building. Furthermore, the 5big Office+ integrates Wuala, LaCie's secure Cloud storage service, giving you the power to back up your critical data to the Cloud and sync files across multiple computers and smartphones, making sure they are up-to-date on every device
