ioSafe: 1515+ NAS for SMB

ioSafe, Inc. announced the availability of its 1515+, a fire and water-resistant 5-bay expandable NAS powered by Synology, Inc.‘s DiskStation Manager OS.

“The new ioSafe 1515+ is simply the most capable product we’ve ever built. We continue our partnership with Synology to deliver our most technologically advanced product ever,” said Robb Moore, ioSafe CEO. “Along with our unmatched physical protection against fire and water, the latest Synology platform enables blazing hardware digital encryption at up to 448MB/s reading and 191B/s writing. For even faster performance, choosing not to encrypt increases throughput to 450MB/s reading and 396MB/s writing.”

The 1515+ features an Atom processor C2000 family 2.4GHz quad-core processor which leverages Intel’s new AES-NI instruction set to provide accelerated encryption, enabling businesses to better and more comprehensively safeguard mission-critical data and to use encryption.

“Primarily aimed at tSMB, the 1515+ can be used by anybody interested in protecting vulnerable data, minimizing downtime and creating private cloud environments for sharing data that isn’t susceptible to public cloud vulnerabilities,” said Moore.

The 1515+ has a RAM module expandable up to 6GB, quad LAN ports supporting automatic failover and link aggregation and built-in redundancy, providing resiliency for mission-critical business operations. It is designed to expand with the need of growing companies and can be scaled up to 90TB of raw storage using N513X expansion units. With support for VMware, Citrix, and Hyper-V, it provides a storage solution for virtualized environments.

“Our ongoing partnership with ioSafe enables us to deliver a unique and award-winning storage solution. Combining Synology’s DiskStation Manager OS with ioSafe’s fireproofing and waterproofing technology provides customers with a solution that makes it easier than ever to both protect and manage their onsite data. The 1515+ features Intel’s new quad-core processor with hardware accelerated encryption to further security for users,” said Jason Bonoan, marketing director, Synology America Corp.

The 1515+ replaces the 1513+, which CRN named as their Storage Product of the Year 2014.
