Whatever the challenge, zero data loss, zero work interruption. You can even opt for the diskless model and migrate to up to five disks without data loss**. Simply add more storage capacity as your business grows. This lets you reduce your initial investment while ensuring a long-term solution.

Automated NAS Backup
Take the hassle and potential for human error out of backing up your NAS. The Dashboard lets you replicate the contents of your 5big Network 2 onto an attached USB/eSATA hard drive. Or vice-versa. Create automatic backup jobs tailored to each of your attached devices. Backups can also be configured to start automatically each time a USB hard drive is connected to the 5big Network 2. You can also use your NAS to back up another NAS, whether it's on the local network or remote*. Even configure a nightly backup of your NAS onto a backup server in a completely different building.
Limitless Professional Collaboration
Intelligent Internal File Sharing
Enhance business efficiency with an effective tool for collaboration. Everyone in the office can share files, whether they are on a PC, Mac, or Linux system. Define whether a folder should be private or public within the company. For private folders, closely control access by setting user- or group-level permissions. It's surprisingly easy. Whatever your office's internal file sharing needs, the 5big Network 2 delivers incredibly flexible accessibility.

Advanced Features for Small Business
iSCSI Target
You can set up an iSCSI share of your 5big Network 2 and mount it as a local share on your computer in the same way that external hard drives are mounted when connecting to your PC/Mac. An iSCSI connection will bring you performance and flexibility for professional applications, such as backup or virtualization.
Dual Ethernet
Go fast with a Gigabit Ethernet port. Go even faster with two Gigabit Ethernet ports. Increase the speed of your network with link aggregation of the two Ethernet ports. This improves information sharing and backup speeds throughout the company. Alternatively, use failover for an extra layer of security. Your transfers will be automatically rerouted from the failed Ethernet link to the alternate. Your data remains continuously accessible. No downtime due to hardware failure.
Centralize Printing
Simplify your office's printing scheme by connecting a compatible printer to one of 5big Network 2's USB ports. Instantly your employees will be able to print from any computer on the network.
Energy-Saving Innovations
Control Energy Usage
The LaCie 5big Network 2 helps you to reduce its power consumption by letting you control its energy usage. You can schedule shut down/restart, even depending on the day of the week. So you can configure your NAS to power on at 6:00 am and off at 7:00pm on Monday through Friday, and stay off all weekend. It also supports wake on LAN protocol, so if your NAS is asleep and conserving energy, you can easily wake it up from your computer without needing to be physically next to the NAS.
Eco-Friendly Industrial Design
Its sturdy aluminum casing hides clever eco-friendly innovations. Aluminum diverts and dissipates heat effectively, reducing the need for an energy-hungry cooling system. It also improves the long-term reliability of the product by preventing overheating. The 5big Network 2's whisper-quiet smart fan automatically adapts its spinning speed to the internal temperature. As a result, it uses minimal energy while cooling internal components. The casing is even fully recyclable.
