The 4big Rack Office is powered by Windows Home Server 2011. With a straightforward setup process and familiar Windows environment, the 4big Rack Office deploys quickly for small businesses. Powerful software demands high-performance hardware and resources. The 4big Rack Office features a 1.6GHz Intel® 64-bit Atom™ processor and 2GB of RAM to ensure simultaneous data access and backups.

COMPLETE DATA PROTECTION
With a pre-configured RAID 5 array on four disks, and automatic backups for up to 10 PCs and three Macs, the 4big Rack Office is a secure vault for company files. It automates backups of computers, from individual files – even open ones – to the entire system. With real-time, anywhere system monitoring and status console alerts, the administrator can easily ensure that all computers are backed up regularly.

The 4big Rack Office supports secured RAID 1 and RAID 5 modes for automatic, software-level protection. If a single disk fails, simply replace it without losing a single byte of data. For an additional level of data protection, the administrator can back up data to an offsite NAS. With Wuala, LaCie's secure cloud storage service, critical files are easily backed up in the cloud.

SHARING DONE RIGHT
The 4big Rack Office helps businesses collaborate easily with file sharing in the office and via the cloud. It can serve files to any operating system – PC, Mac, or Linux – on the network. Employees can even access files stored on the NAS from the road using Windows' remote access feature.

With 100GB of Wuala Secure Cloud Storage complimentary for three months, users can share, sync, and collaborate in the cloud. Employees can securely store their files in Wuala and access them from anywhere, even from a smart phone or tablet.
