ioSafe 1019 Fireproof and Flood Proof NAS Revealed

New and More Powerful ioSafe 1019+ NAS Released

The ioSafe 1019+ is a fire- and waterproof network attached storage (NAS) device engineered to protect your work and ensure business continuity. The 1019+ is a backup system, a disaster recovery plan, and a robust collaboration tool all-in-one. Powered by Synology’s DiskStation Manager operating system, the 1019+ makes it easy to secure, protect, recover, and manage your vital data. The 1019+ and its DataCast endothermic fire insulation technology is fireproof up to 1550°F for 30 minutes, meaning the 1019+ will withstand a typical office or home fire. The ioSafe design team and engineering teams thoroughly test their devices to make sure they meet this standard to protect the disk drives installed in the interior of the device. Additionally, the 1019+ uses HydroSafe technology to waterproof its hard drives in submersions of up to 10 feet for 72 hours. While this protects data in flooding situations caused by hurricane or swollen rivers, more typical scenarios involve a business’s IT infrastructure being sprayed by a faulty fire sprinkler system, a leaking HVAC system, or a broken pipe. (Not to mention the fire department’s hose in case of fire!).

ioSafe 1019 NAS For Disaster Proof Business Data Storage

An ioSafe 1019+ is a fully-loaded insurance policy for small to medium-sized businesses; especially those with poor bandwidth speeds. In a disaster, how long would it take you to fully recover your information from a cloud provider? If you’re in a natural disaster, that could take days to weeks for the road infrastructure to even allow for external support. The downtime for businesses is unacceptable. The recovery time is much faster with an ioSafe 1019+ than if it were stored solely in the cloud. A replacement unit to slot in the drives can often be overnight shipped to a location. Businesses that cannot operate without their data lose considerable revenue in opportunity costs while they wait for a data download, replacement drives and/or recovery services to recreate their data. Local recovery is also one less workflow process to maintain if employing other backup methods like off-site tape backups. A local copy of data in an ioSafe device beats any other backup method because you will have full access to the data as soon as you retrieve the device.

Disasters happen anywhere at anytime. While we cannot predict when they happen, it is better to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. The business continuity and privacy functionality of the ioSafe 1019+ are complementary bonuses to the fire and waterproof features that ensure your data is safe whenever life happens. With an ioSafe 1019+ you can trust that your data will survive if disaster strikes. Testimonials from end users and managed service providers agree – without an ioSafe NAS product, their operations would have ceased until the data was back on-site, and their backup strategy would not have been as easy as a black box in their network closet.

ioSafe 1019 NAS Drive Includes Business Support Services

ioSafe and the 1019+ is aimed at those that understand that your data is critically important and work hard to build equipment that will protect it no matter what. They also understand that even the best equipment can sometimes fail and that other events, such as human error, can put your data at risk. That’s why they offer the ioSafe Data Recovery Service (DRS). The DRS provides comprehensive protection against the costs associated with data recovery, including:

• Free data recovery by ioSafe technical experts
• If necessary we will engage 3rd party data recovery services
• Global mail-in coverage
• Replacement hardware pre-loaded with the recovered data
• Direct access to ioSafe experts

Every ioSafe product shipped with factory-installed drives automatically includes 2 years of DRS which can optionally be extended to 5 years. Coverage can be extended either at purchase or at any time during the initial coverage period. Extending the DRS also extends the hardware warranty for an equal period. In some cases, an advance replacement can be arranged. Contact customer service for details. Their experts are able to deal with most recoveries, but when necessary, they partnered with DriveSavers, an industry-leading data recovery company, to complete the recovery. they’ll work with DriveSavers when we’re not able to complete the recovery in-house or when compliance with privacy and security regulations such as HIPAA, SOX, GBLA or NIST is necessary.

ioSafe 1019 NAS Drive Hardware and Software

The ioSafe 1019+ is an extraordinary data storage device that makes it easy to collaborate, secure, and manage your work, all while protecting it from disaster. Fireproof and waterproof, the 1019+ can be trusted to bring your business back to life within minutes should fire or flood strike. Powered by Synology’s award-winning DiskStation Manager operating system, the 1019+ is capable of file syncing and sharing, media management, and data backup. Built with a Kensington security slot and with an optional floor mount and padlock kit available, the 1019+ device can be physically secured on your premises. The new iosafe NAS is prepared for the demands placed on an organization caused by business growth or simply the explosion of data we’re all facing. It stores up to 70TB in its five bays, or up to 140TB with an optional expansion unit, and can be configured in multiple RAID modes for speed and redundancy. Access to your data from anywhere is essential for modern businesses, but public cloud options are often slow and insecure. The 1019+ makes it easy to store your data locally while enjoying the benefits of cloud storage.

Lastly, just because the ioSafe 1019+ is designed to withstand fire and be incredibly robust, does not mean that the traditional features and functionality of a modern NAS server. Features like the powerful and efficient Intel J3455 CPU, 8GB of DDR3L memory, Twin LAN ports for doubling network connectivity speeds, USB support for external storage and UPS devices and (most exciting of all) NVMe slots for adding fast, FAST SSD based storage to massively increase the read and wrtite operations from inside the device.
