Data Sharing Solutions From LaCie

As the extensive use of digital

consumer electronics contin-

ues to accelerate exponential-

ly, consumers and profession-

als are increasingly looking

for data storage and sharing solutions.

It’s clear why internal hard drives are rou-

tinely ﬁlled and servers stagger as storage archi-

tects struggle to keep up with the ever-evolv-

ing needs of digital consumers. Capacity and

compatibility limitations often contribute to

intractable workﬂow restrictions, and common

network storage solutions are prohibitively ex-

pensive and infamously diﬃcult to integrate

into existing networks.

Solutions from LaCie

Meet the solution to your data-sharing needs:

the LaCie Ethernet Disk and Ethernet Disk

mini. Sharing huge amounts of data eﬀort-

lessly between Windows, Apple and Linux en-

vironments is a breeze for the Ethernet Disk

and Ethernet Disk mini.

More Than Hard Drives

ink of the Ethernet Disk and Ethernet Disk

mini as “more than hard drives.” One of the

advantages of network storage is that you don’t

need to place the storage device near to your

computer. Simply power on the drive, plug the

Ethernet chord into a router or a switch on the

network, and begin sharing ﬁles.

e beauty of the Ethernet Disk and Eth-

ernet Disk mini lies in their simplicity. Once

the Ethernet Disk or Ethernet Disk mini is

connected to your network, all you need to

do is type http://edmini or the drive’s IP ad-

dress in your browser’s address ﬁeld to access

the conﬁguration page. Finding your drive’s

IP address couldn’t be easier; simply download

LaCie’s free IP Conﬁgurator.

Accessible to any computer via a Web

browser, administration and control can be

managed remotely or on-site, and doesn’t re-

quire a degree in network administration.

Flexible Cross-Platform Solution

Operating seamlessly in Windows, Apple

Macintosh and Linux environments, both

products feature an auto-sensing 10BaseT

and 100BaseTX connection to local area net-

works (the most common Ethernet-based

network connections) and support DHCP for

eﬀortless setup. Both solutions are compatible

with TCP/IP, SMB/CIFS, Apple Talk, FTP

and HTTP ﬁle sharing protocols to easily in-

tegrate into your operating conﬁguration.

e ExtremeZ-IP File Server (compatible

with the Ethernet Disk only) oﬀers support

for Apple’s latest version of the Apple ﬁle

sharing protocol, AFP v3.1, as well as all the

important new Mac OS X features like sup-

port for long ﬁle names, ﬁle sizes over 2GB on

the server, single sign-on authentication us-

ing Kerberos, and true compatibility between

Mac OS 9** and Mac OS X ﬁles.

e Ethernet Disk supports up to 100 us-

ers – 25 connected simultaneously – on the

same network protocol. Modifying permis-

sions is a breeze, ensuring that ﬁle access is

controlled and sensitive ﬁles are protected

from prying eyes.

Web browser accessibility means that data

can be accessed from any internet-connected

browser.

LaCie Ethernet Disk:

The Professional Solution

Fortunately, small and mid-sized companies

and organizations have an alternative that

simpliﬁes data management, enhances pro-

ductivity and improves data access, all without

tor. Simply connect the LaCie Ethernet Disk

to your Ethernet-based network, turn on the

power, and within minutes you’ll beneﬁt from

a dedicated network storage solution that un-

burdens your server of storage tasks and leaves

your workstations’ hard drives all the capacity

they need to function eﬃciently.

e Ethernet Disk also beneﬁts from

its embedded Windows XP operating sys-

portant data or photos from any networked

computer, or plug it in via a USB cable for use

as a personal storage device (no need to install

drivers). e original, sturdy metal design is

portable for shuttling between home and of-

ﬁce. Support for multiple share gives users

the ﬂexibility to intelligently control access to

sensitive data.

Ethernet Disk or Ethernet Disk mini?

e Ethernet Disk was developed as a data-

sharing solution for small- to mid-size busi-

nesses or organizations, featuring an interface

that transfers data 10 times faster than the

Ethernet Disk mini. Shipped with capacities

of up to 2TB (1TB = 1000GB) with the op-

tion to increase to nearly limitless capacities

via USB-connected external hard drives, your

business can backup its ﬁles over the network

and archive massive blocks of data.

e Ethernet Disk mini was designed for

small oﬃce and home oﬃce users, and can

be used as a personal USB hard drive or as a

shared drive. With capacities up to 500GB,

the Ethernet Disk mini can handle any of

your small oﬃce or home oﬃce needs.

Secure Data Storage

In this age of security concern, your employees

can transfer ﬁles with conﬁdence to their Eth-

ernet Disk and Ethernet Disk mini. anks

to the intuitive conﬁguration interface, non-

technical personnel can easily grant or with-

draw read and write permissions to ﬁles at an

individual user level. For example, tempo-

rary employees can be given read-only ac-

cess to ﬁles.

e Ethernet Disk also comes with a

backup program to help guard against the

unexpected. Connect an external hard drive

to the Ethernet Disk via the USB 2.0 port

and schedule regular backups, and enjoy the

peace of mind that comes from the knowl-

edge of fully backed up data.

To further simplify data backup, LaCie

oﬀers ‘1-Click’ Backup Software (Win-
