Depending on your needs, you can choose a solution that quickly adds from 80GB to 960GB of multi-platform data storage and file sharing or an integrated solution of data backup, recovery and storage/file sharing.

The EssentialServer has been designed to be extremely easy to set up and use - even non-technical staff can manage it via its intuitive, browser-based interface. It installs on your network in minutes with an easy to understand installation wizard guiding you all the way.

Whether you choose our innovative desktop design or industry standard 19" rack mount configuration, your business will immediately benefit from EssentialServer's robust, reliable and scaleable architecture, fast network performance and high-speed, efficient multi-platform file sharing.

Never worry about lost files or a disk crash again - EssentialServer includes client-side backup software for Windows and Macintosh enabling users to automatically backup their local files to the EssentialServer.

Fully Integrated Backup - Depending on the model you choose, EssentialServer's fully integrated backup capabilities put it in a class ahead of the competition. The built in tape drive and CD-RW, along with the fully integrated and optimized backup software, eliminates the guesswork and complexity usually associated with managing data back ups. The EssentialServer also protects your mobile work force with fully automated notebook backup.

Fast, Easy Restore - Data backup is only as good as your ability to restore it. EssentialServer is designed to protect against any kind of data loss disaster by quickly and easily recovering and restoring any file, directory or even complete drive. And it doesn't take a network expert to do it. Just put the backup tape in the drive and select the files that you need to restore. It's that easy.

Reliable Network Attached Storage - EssentialServer's NAS models provide fast and economical data storage and multi-platform file sharing. Depending on your environment, you can choose a model that meets your exact storage requirements (80GB to 900GB), drive performance (SCSI or EIDE) and level of data protection (RAID level 0,1,5). This flexibility is also available in our integrated backup and storage models, ensuring that you get what you need - now and into the future.

4 Levels of Data Protection and Security - data files are stored on user's computer; are saved from user's workstation to EssentialServer; are either mirrored or striped across RAID drives; and are backed up to tape or CD.
