LaCie Brings NAS to Home
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Fri, August 29th, 2008
With its new Network Space
The LaCie Network Space comes pre-built with two separate shares. One share is public for easy open access from any networked computer, while the other is password-protected for secured private use. LaCie Network Agent software is included to make access to the shares quicker and easier.
LaCie Network Space has the ability to stream multimedia files through DLNA-compatible UPnP media players, such as Xbox 360 and or Sony Playstation 3, or act as an iTunes music server. This benefits users by allowing them to watch videos on their television elsewhere in their house rather than needing to be in front of the computer. The device is also FTP accessible, enabling remote access to upload or download files from abroad through a static IP address.
“The Network Space is a simple, easy-to-use solution right out of the box for customers wanting easily accessible network storage for multiple computers or UPnP media players,” said Christa Dabilly, LaCie Product Manager. “Whether you want to localize storage for images and files or want the ability to access music files through any local iTunes player, this device is a perfect NAS solution for local use.”
Designed exclusively for LaCie by Neil Poulton and based on the Red Dot award-winning Hard Disk, this beautiful looking device can integrate nicely into a living room environment thanks to its sophisticated black mirror-polished finish, ultra-quiet fanless operation, and a unique blue LED strip that creates a rich ambient glow to enhance the storage experience.
The Network Space is a full-featured home server utilizing Gigabit Ethernet for localized data transfers from any networked PC or Mac. With an additional USB 2.0 port located on the front of the unit, users can connect any USB drive or camera to copy additional files or photos automatically without needing the local computer turned on.
Availability
The LaCie Network Space is available through the LaCie Online Store, LaCie Reseller or LaCie Storage Partner starting in early September for Europe and early October worldwide.
