Non-stop normal operation
Powerful software demands high-performance hardware and resources. With the 5big Office+, LaCie made no compromises.

Complete Data Protection. Simplified.

Protection against any calamity, including human error
Your business data are sensitive, and protecting them is paramount. The 5big Office+ secures your files at every point, taking human error out of the equation. It automates backups of your office's computers, from individual files even open ones to the entire system. Simply install Connector the backup client software on your office's computers, then the 5big Office+ does the rest. No further configuration required. What's more, support for incremental backups means that only changed or new files are backed up. Combine this with PC backup data deduplication, and you're truly getting the most out of your capacity.

Restore any file or even an entire system
With Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials, it's easy to restore a file or even a complete workstation operating system. Thanks to robust versioning management, you can prevent data loss in the case that an employee accidentally deletes an important file. You can even browse through all saved files and select the one you want to restore. What's more, if a workstation's hard drive fails, you can restore the entire system. A simple wizard helps you to create a reinstallation DVD or USB key. This lets you restore the damaged system to the exact state captured in the latest backup. Complete system restoration. Hassle-free.

No data loss. No downtime.
The 5big Office+ supports secured RAID 1 and RAID 5 modes for automatic, hardware-level protection. If a single disk fails, you can replace it without turning off your appliance. Just swap in a new one without losing a single byte of data. What's more, even in the case of an Ethernet link failure, your server always remains available. The failover feature automatically routes transfers from the failed Ethernet link to the other one. Whatever the challenge, zero data loss, zero work interruption.

Distance your data from threats
For an additional level of data protection, back up your data to an offsite location. Prevent local technical problems or acts of God from causing downtime with NAS-to-DAS backups. Simply set up automatic backups to a connected DAS, which you can then take away to a safe place. Or, eliminate the need for human intervention and automate this task with NAS-to-NAS backups. This lets you schedule frequent backups to another NAS located in another room or building. Going even further, the 5big Office+ integrates Wuala, LaCie's secure Cloud storage service. So now you can back up your critical data to the Cloud.

Painless integration
Integration into your infrastructure is as simple as ABC. No network knowledge is required to start. Simply connect the 5big Office+ to your network, run the utilities DVD, and configure automatic backups. It takes just a few clicks. The Dashboard gives you quick access to key tasks. Control RAID management, user management, or backup status in the blink of an eye.

Easy user and group import and management
Dramatically simplify how you manage users and groups with Active Directory and Windows domain support. It only takes 30 seconds to join the 5big Office+ to an existing domain. Users, groups, and permissions can then be quickly imported and synced from your existing Windows infrastructure. Once set up, you will never need to do it again. Zero repetitive tasks.

Low maintenance
Hard drives need to be replaced when they are full. With the 5big Office+, you can slide in a new one without needing to hit the power button first. You can install higher capacity drives to add storage, or replace a failed drive, all with no downtime.
