CRU: ioSafe 1019+ 5-Bay Fire Protection and Waterproof Desktop NAS

CRU, Inc. announced the launch of the ioSafe 1019+ 5-bay NAS device.

The device can protect up to 140TB of data from fire or water damage in the event of a disaster and provides backup, file syncing and sharing, and media management.

The ioSafe 1019+ fire and waterproof NAS device ensures BC when disaster strikes.

The ioSafe 1019+ keeps digital work secure in temperatures up to 1,550° Fahrenheit for up to 30 minutes, which is long enough to survive most fires. In addition, its waterproof capabilities protect data should the device be submerged in up to ten feet of water for three days. Aside from disaster proofing capabilities, the device offers 256-bit AES encryption, floor or rack mount kits and a full data recovery service.

“Following CRU’s acquisition of ioSafe in July 2018, we’ve been working to release new disaster-proof ioSafe devices,” said Randal Barber, CEO, CRU. “We’re thrilled to release the 1019+ as the first of these products. The device plays an essential role in disaster planning as it empowers businesses and government agencies with the technology needed to quickly get backup and running when a plumbing or HVAC leak, building fire or major disaster occurs.“

The ioSafe 1019+ is based on the Synology, Inc.‘s DS1019+ NAS device. It uses the Disk Station Manager (DSM) OS in combination with the company’s patented DataCast and Hydrosafe technologies to protect its HDDs and stored data from damage.

“We’re excited that CRU has chosen the DS1019+ and Synology’s DSM platform as the basis for their latest fireproof and waterproof NAS device,” said Alex Wang, CEO, Synology America Corp. “The ioSafe 1019+ ensures that customers can use Synology technology to store important data for their businesses and implement an effective DR strategy.“

“Being a rural community prone to wildfires, I needed a solution that could be fireproof for at least ten minutes, which is the average response time for firefighters. ioSafe fit the niche,” said Todd Stum, director, office of information systems, Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.

The company’s storage devices are available through solution-oriented VARs and MSPs, serving SMBs, enterprise departments and government agencies throughout North America and Europe.
