LaCie 5Big Pro Drive Network Drive (10TB)(USB and Ethernet)

Introducing the True Hybrid Cloud
With the LaCie 5big NAS running NAS OS 3, you get a true hybrid cloud: integrated network-attached and secure cloud storage. LaCie is alone in the market having its own cloud storage product, Wuala. As a result, LaCie is uniquely positioned to deliver a seamless hybrid cloud solution.

Easy Setup, Seamless Integration
Simply connect the product and install the Wuala client, and instantly you have 100GB of free trial online storage. Wuala file system integration means both network and cloud storage mounts on your computer just like an external hard drive. So you can easily drag and drop files onto the LaCie 5big or the cloud. It also lets you access and work on files wherever you go – and even edit files with productivity software – without needing to download them.

Complete Compatibility
Not only does Wuala work on Windows, Mac, and Linux, but also on mobile devices. Just install the Wuala app on your smart phone or tablet to gain access to any file stored on your LaCie 5big. Make your data as mobile as your employees are.

Fast Professional Collaboration
Faster Internal File Sharing
Boost your business productivity with up to 200MB/s transfer speeds. The LaCie 5big is powered by a dual-core 2.13GHz Intel 64-bit Atom processor and 4GB RAM. It also features dual LAN and link aggregation for optimized network speeds. This combination optimizes file transfers between employees, and ensures full performance even with simultaneous transfers.

Work Smarter, Work Together
It also lets you automatically sync files between the cloud and one or many of your company's computers, ensuring everyone's looking at the most current versions. Sync makes sure that an employee in sales, for example, won't use an outdated price list, or be unable to pull up marketing collateral during a sales pitch. Since your Wuala Business users have access to a shared pool of storage, it's easy to keep everyone on the same page.

Better External File Sharing
What's more, instead of using FTP or email to share files with external clients, simply give them the folder's secret link on Wuala. They can download files directly through any browser without needing to install the Wuala client or be granted access to your company's network. No file size restrictions means you can share large files easier than ever.

Formidable Data Security. Simplified.
Professional Security, Suitable for Novices
The LaCie 5big goes the extra mile to protect your data. In addition to industry-standard RAID modes, the 5big is the first LaCie product to ship with SimplyRAID, which makes RAID management easy enough for any novice. Either manually select a RAID mode such as 5, 1, or 0, or activate SimplyRAID. It ensures that even if you're not an expert, you still benefit from the best data security. Sophisticated protection. Simple usage.

RAID for Bulletproof
Hardware Security
With SimplyRAID, you also get the perfect compromise between speed and disk-failure proof, hardware-level data protection. If a disk fails, you can replace it without turning off your appliance. Just swap in a new one without losing a single byte of data. Whatever the challenge, zero data loss, zero work interruption.

Minimal Investment, Maximum Scalability
Opt for the diskless model and simply add more storage as your business grows. Automatic RAID expansion means that it's easy to add additional or higher capacity disks without losing your data. Using SimplyRAID, you also get improved available storage compared to traditional RAID solutions when using disks of different sizes. These features let you reduce your initial investment while ensuring a long-term solution.

Industry-Best Cloud Security
Files stored on the cloud are encrypted even before they leave your computer. So no one, not even a LaCie employee, could ever access them. While competing cloud storage services could read your files due to employee wrongdoing or court order, files stored on Wuala are solely accessible by your Wuala administrator. Wuala also employs bank-level security to protect files stored on its servers.

Complete Backup Solution
Everything you Need, in the Box
The LaCie 5big comes with everything you need to back up your office's computers. It includes three client licenses for Genie Backup Manager Pro for Windows and three licenses for Intego Backup Manager Pro for Mac. Install the included software on computers to be backed up, or simply use Time Machine or Windows Backup.

Offsite Backup for Ultra Security
You can even add offsite backup to your data protection strategy. Wuala lets you create backup jobs that back up a computer's folder onto the cloud. An employee accidentally deletes an important file or his hard drive fails? Regardless of your backup method – 3rd party software or Wuala – restore lost files in seconds and get employees back on track.
