Many system administrators remember the OVH servers that burned down in a fire, along with the loss of many terabytes of data that weren't entirely secure in the cloud. We should never forget the saying, " There is no cloud, it's someone else's computer ," and therefore, the data uploaded should also be physically secure in the data centers where it's stored. To prevent such incidents, ioSafe has announced the ioSafe 1520+ NAS, which is disaster-resistant.
Designed to be physically tough, this NAS can protect disk drives in temperatures up to 843ºC in accordance with the ASTM E-119 test standard for up to 30 minutes. They are also capable of keeping units safe for up to three days when submerged in up to 3 feet of water in the event of flooding.
A NAS designed to survive almost everything
In terms of storage capacity, the disaster-proof ioSafe 1520+ NAS can accommodate up to five hot-swappable 3,5-inch hard drives, meaning it can store up to 100 TB using 20 TB hard drives depending on the RAID configuration . It can be expanded with disaster-resistant expansion modules to hold up to 300 TB of data.
It runs Synology's DSM operating system, which is designed primarily for business users. Its hardware is based on the Intel Celeron J4125 system-on-chip paired with 8GB of DDR3L memory, it can connect to a local network through four GbE ports, and it supports various external storage devices through its USB 3.0 Type-A and eSATA interfaces.
It measures 406 × 483 × 534mm and weighs 29 kilograms without units and 33 kilograms when fully packed. The idea of the NAS ioSafe 1520+ is for those companies that want to protect their data, but do not want to store their information in the cloud due to the aforementioned problems that they are stored in another place where we cannot physically control what happens with the data.
