ioSafe Introduces S2 Disaster-Proof Storage Device

 ioSafe, a disaster-proof hardware company, introduced the ioSafe S2, the next generation of its award-winning S-series product line, delivering data backup protection during disasters such as fires, floods, human error and server failure. With two RAID 1 mirrored disk drives, up to 2 terabytes (TB) of raw storage capacity and the new feature of user-recoverable data after disaster, the ioSafe S2 offers business continuity and peace of mind for small businesses and remote offices.

"We listened to our customers who purchased the ioSafe S1 product in designing this upgrade," said Robb Moore, CEO of ioSafe. "What became clear is that data security is of paramount importance to our customers, and small businesses and remote offices need redundant hard drives and the ability to quickly perform a self recovery following a disaster. By providing secure, onsite disaster-proof storage, the S2 eliminates the risks to data during offsite tape vaulting. As a disk-based device, the ioSafe S2 makes recovery of entire servers more practical and much less expensive than an online backup strategy."

The ioSafe S2 is designed to be fire resistant to 1700 degrees F for one hour and flood resistant in salt water to a depth of 30 feet for 30 days. As in all the company’s disaster-proof products, the ioSafe S2 features the patented ioSafe(R) FloSafe air-cooled technology. Available only with ioSafe products, FloSafe technology provides cooling airflow that all electronics require for reliability, while simultaneously delivering fire and flood protection for disasters.

Along with RAID 1 disks, the major upgrade to the S2 product in the S-series line is the removable electronic core. The S2 core is a completely operational system designed to allow users to perform self recovery of data. Additionally, the removable core offers a convenient way to upgrade the internal electronics in the future.

Price and availability
The ioSafe S2 is available now from authorized resellers throughout the U.S. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price starts at $6,875. The ioSafe S2 comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty, a $10,000 Data Extraction Guarantee ($5,000 per disk) and ioSafe Disaster Response Team support.
