August, 2008 —

Small to Large Business Office Considerations

Protecting vital business data, proprietary research and critical digital data is a top priority for businesses across the world. Backing up data into a file server is a key first step in maintaining operations. From a business continuity and disaster recovery standpoint this data is still vulnerable to fire, flood or other natural disaster. In order to protect this data from these elements a fireproof hard drive or network attached storage server can be added to your strategy to fully protect from disasters. ioSafe, the manufacturer of disaster proof hardware has engineered a complete line of systems (both external USB and NAS) and rugged internal disk drives to meet the growing needs of businesses worldwide to combat a wide range of data security and vulnerability points.

“ioSafe is creating a paradigm shift in the data storage industry in how data can be protected in both a redundancy and real-world fire or flood disaster standpoint. These products meets the needs of both IT professionals, CTO's and DR/BC strategists in one easy to use appliance ” – Johnny Klemme, CEO KL Security Enterprises, LLC

Fire safe systems like the ioSafe R4 are complete enclosures for your existing backup data. These proprietary systems are essentially a fireproof enclosure that also offers waterproof protection for your hard drives. Easily used a NAS server, backup file server or email server these products coupled with a UPS power supply will solidify your data backup and recovery plan and help you meet business objectives for recovery point and time objectives.

ioSafe systems are made to mount directly into any standard EIA rail rack, however it is suggested that a four point rack mount be used for safety (the complete systems weigh in at over 100 lbs). While fire protection varies on the backup hardware from 1 hour fireproof protection at 1700° F with their enterprise class systems, to 1400° F for 15 minutes in their internal 3.5 drive series, all products are tested to UL 72 standards or ETL ratings.

For added security it is possible to bolt or lock the systems to the floor or existing server rack, a plus for any physical security needs or requirements.
