LaCie introduce Ethernet Disk storage device
LaCie, which specialises in storage devices for the digital content development industry, has announced the launch of the first network storage system to deliver a Microsoft Windows XP Embedded operating system.
LaCie's Ethernet Disk has a capacity of up to 500GB and is aimed at the small to medium-sized business environments. It has the ability to store, backup and share files among as many as 25 users at the same time.
The system is also easy to set-up and manage. The user simply plugs in the power cord, connects the Ethernet cable, power on the drive, and the drive can be up and running in less than 1 minute. Equipped with an intuitive, user-friendly interface, the LaCie Ethernet Disk can be easily accessed, managed and maintained via any web browser.
"With today's shared workspaces, users are looking for efficient and competitive solutions with minimal administration required," said Olivier Mirloup, LaCie Senior Product Manager. "Our Ethernet Disk provides just that – large capacity network storage for workgroups."
The LaCie Ethernet Disk features a Microsoft Windows XP Embedded operating system that provides seamless file sharing among cross-platform workgroups on the network. Compatible with Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems, the LaCie Ethernet Disk can also be used with other systems via any Web browser.
When the native capacity of the Ethernet Disk is reached, additional storage space can easily be added by daisy-chaining additional LaCie hard drives via the USB or FireWire port.
