LaCie CloudBox stores data locally & in the cloud

Here is a hybrid device 100 GB that will store your files locally and in the cloud... for a fee, naturally.

Earlier this week, the LaCie revealed a hybrid network storage device that backs up data locally and the cloud. Called the CloudBox, he transfers to the departure of 100 GB of data on a (long) long period of time. After that, new and modified files are backed up on a daily basis.

"Just copy and paste your files to your CloudBox, and they will automatically be backed up online every day," reads the description of the product. "" "". It's simple: your data are saved on a local hard disk and in the cloud of dual protection. The CloudBox includes a contract a year of 100 GB online backup, which can be easily renewed. »

As it has already begun, the CloudBox connects to an existing home or corporate network. Using the provided software, consumers can save their data on the 100 GB internal hard disk device. The CloudBox then silently downloads all the data on its own, leaving the end user free to shut down the computer or play long extends from Farmville without interruption.

As noted by CNET, backup of 100 GB of data apparently will be forever. For example, a dedicated, full T1 (1.5 Mbps) connection download would take about a week to completely download the entire load. In the real world, a non-dedicated T1 connection will probably take 30 to 60 days of 100 GB download, a data value. Again, that everything is saved in the cloud, users may "set it and forget" up to what they need to recover data once more in the case of theft or damage... as long as the subscription is kept active, that is.

According to Lacie, the CloudBox presents military-grade encryption 128-bit AES. "Your password is really secure and are not stored online, so that nobody - not even LaCie - can access your online backup." What each file is encrypted with AES 128 - bit military prior to be downloaded, "the company said." "You can be confident that all your data and secure in the cloud, regardless what happens to the CloudBox itself.".

The LaCie CloudBox did not arrive here in the States of this wording, but interested consumers can head here to register for notification when it arrives. The device will be sport a pricetag $199.99, compatibility with PC and Mac machines, a guarantee of 2 years and a free subscription for one year. After this, users will need to shell to $100 per year for 100 GB cloud storage.
