LaCie 12big Rack Network

The Ultimate Corporate File-Sharing Solution.

Network-Attached and Block Storage up to 96TB

Customizable. Robust. Enterprise Class.

Network-Attached Storage Just Got 12 Times Better.

A Complete Network Storage Solution

With room enough to store up to 96TB of data in an accessible, expandable, reliable 12-disk storage solution, the

LaCie 12big Rack Network provides a way to get both block and network-attached storage in just one box. It supports six RAID modes (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50), offers full redundancy on almost all hardware elements, and features dual 1Gb/s Ethernet connections. With many customizable features, including support for 500+ users, this highpowered, full-featured storage solution is the ideal addition to any corporate network or branch office.

Scalability Without Tradeoff

Powered by a hardware RAID controller that pulls away resource-demanding RAID parity calculations from the processor, it can easily scale up without affecting performance and still guarantee the same level of data protection. If you run short on storage, just connect up to three 12big Rack

Serials through the Mini SAS expansion port to instantly quadruple the number of drives. The XOR engine can manage the extra RAID calculations, and the Xeon processor can successfully handle the increasing number of file serving requests, guaranteeing a successful scaleup in storage and users without a drop in performance.

Rock-Solid Components

With its hardware RAID controller, its Quad-Core Intel

Xeon processor, server-class motherboard, and enterprise class drives, it successfully stores and protects your business-critical data. In addition, we test every single enclosure for 24 hours prior to being shipped, so you can be assured that you’re receiving the highest quality storage, helping your data stay safe and secure.

Flexible and Adaptable

The LaCie 12big Rack Network can serve as a file or block sharing appliance. It supports both SMB and NFS file protocols, it can be used as an iSCSI target. With its two Ethernet ports and highest-grade components, it can successfully share critical files while also successfully functioning as a dedicated, direct-attached storage device that can be part of an IP SAN or an iSCSI target for applications that demand high bandwidth.

An Enterprise-Level OS

The LaCie 12big Rack Network is powered by Windows ®

Storage Server 2008 Standard Edition. Among its many great features on the file level is Single Instance Storage

(SIS), which provides data deduplication. With SIS, your organization can get up to 40% of its existing disk space back, so you’ve got less data to back up, which in turn increases backup speeds.

Mac

®

Compatibility

The 12big Rack Network offers full Macintosh compatibility, resolving any file sharing problems in mixed architecture. You can directly store data on the 12big Rack Network using AFP protocol. Additionally, it supports Active Directory and single signon, automatic reconnect, long passwords, specific Macintosh file naming policies, and quick file searching (including full content searching) with Network Spotlight, all with minimal impact on server performance. An innovative Time Machine ® capability provides self-service backup for Mac clients with adjustable quotas on the amount of backup space used for individual users. With the 12big Rack Network, IT professionals finally have the ability to integrate Mac computer into Windows-based infrastructure efficiently and effectively.

Redundant and Reliable

The LaCie 12big Rack Network’s multiple redundant fans and power supply can be replaced on the fly. In addition, the OS is stored on two RAID 1-protected drives for complete redundancy and easier maintenance.

The 12big Rack Network’s hardware RAID controller and its XOR engine also provide extremely fast RAID initialization and rebuild time, resulting in the 12big Rack

Network's improved reliability.
