The LairdShareHD is the perfect storage system for a work group. Its compact size belies its power, delivering fast and steady performance in a common shared environment. The LairdShareHD easily scales by adding expansion units (LTM-LSEX) to meet your future storage needs.

Multi-Stream Means Productivity

The LairdShareHD can handle the toughest tasks, delivering streams of data to multiple users concurrently. Groups sharing applications that require real-time uninterrupted streams access their data on the LairdShareHD as a shared device across the work group. Plenty of capacity on the LairdShareHD means that source files do not need to be transferred between workstations. The LairdShareHD enables the entire group to get more work done.

100% Plug and Play

LairdShareHDs are easy to set up and ready to go within minutes. Simply plug the LairdShareHD into your workgroup switch and the system appears as a local disk. LairdShareHDs are designed as a shared device so that all users in the workgroup have the same access. The LairdShareHD uses an existing Gigabit Ethernet network, so there is no need for expensive client hardware such as FiberChannel cards and switches, additional management software or costly fiber tech support squads.

System Management

The consistently high performance with minimal management overhead makes this the core of a productive collaborative environment. Includes a management system via a dedicated Ethernet port that allows for remote configuration, upgrades, and tech support. Once installed and the initial set-up is complete, the unit is available for use with no additional configuration necessary. 100% plug and play.
