Share & Backup Files

Increase efficiency in your office:

• access all your files on several computers  at any one time

• easily share files between multiple users yet restrict certain folders as required
• get access to your files from anywhere - whilst other members of your team do too
• backup your files in case of a loss or damage to your main computer

Sounds interesting? We have a solution, without the need for a full-blown server in your office or high support costs.

A Network Attached Storage (NAS) device provides an alternative and straight-forward solution for sharing files between users within your office, and offers:

• Suitability for small offices – entry level units available from 300€
• Easy sharing of files between multiple concurrent users – eliminates need for emailing each other files or using a valuable PC as a shared drive.
• Built-in redundancy – multiple hard drives run identical copies of each other in case of one or other fails (typically PCs & laptops only have single hard drive making data recovery difficult when they die)
• Remote access via Internet  - keep all your files to hand without the risks of taking them off site whilst staying in sync with anyone else who may need to use them
• Handling of back-ups easily –helps you to keep copies of your essential files off-site in case of disaster
• Multiple user-access rights to folders –protect certain folders from being seen by all members of your business
• Looks just like your ‘My Documents’ or ‘C Drive’ on your PCs
• Low maintenance costs when compared to a typical server installation for the purpose of file sharing. With a little bit of our help you should even  be able to run the device mostly in-house
• NAS architecture allows the addition of extra storage space as required

Pricing
Suitable small office NAS devices are available from 270 GBP / 300 EUR  - although depending on expected usage can range up to several thousand for a large office environment. We recommend a USB backup drive (from 100 GBP / 120 EUR) and a UPS (battery backup) power-supply (from 40 GBP / 50 EUR) as well.

Standard setup & training is priced from:

• 1-2 PCs/users: 220 GBP / 320 EUR
• 3-6 PCs/users: 440 GBP / 640 EUR (4-6 users)

All prices excl. tax; the setup allows us to configure and test the NAS itself, the backups and folder-structure specifically for your business. We will then show you how to connect to the device and make it available to your computers.

We are also able to offer an entirely web-based solution with no need for local drives, priced from 150 GBP / 225 EUR + strorage space, per year.
