Fireproof Data Storage Design
The Achilles heel for electronic devices is cooling. As electronics get faster and hard drive disks spin faster, the heat generated increases. To protect electronics from a disaster such as fire, however, you need insulation. Once insulation is placed around an electronic component, even with a very small amount of energy, the inside temperature can get incredibly hot. To solve this problem, ioSafe developed and patented several technologies.
All ioSafe products are fireproof and can keep your data safe through the use of ioSafe's patented FloSafe vent technology, proprietary DataCast insulation or patent-pending MirrorGuard technology. Key to these technologies is the ability to protect your data automatically and with out electrical power. Some or all of these technologies are included in ioSafe products.
- FloSafe - The patented FloSafe cooling vent technology provides cooling air flow through the enclosure and across the disk drives during normal operating conditions. If destructive heat levels are sensed, such as in a fire, the FloSafe vents automatically close and protect the data from the extreme heat.
- DataCast - The proprietary DataCast endothermic insulation technology protects data from extreme heat. . The DataCast formulation forms a chemical bond with water molecules that, at temperature above 160°F, releases water vapor to limit the internal temperature of the unit. This enables the ioSafe data storage product to protect your data from heat damage while the unit is engulfed in fire.
- MirrorGuard - The patent-pending MirrorGuard technology used in our ioSafe 3.5 internal hard drive line provides a reflective heat shield to deflect over 98 percent of the radiant heat from a fire, thus preventing destruction of the data stored within the device.
ioSafe products can be used in many configurations to increase your data's chances of survival. Let us help you configure a system that is right for your disaster recovery strategy. Protect your digital assets today. Strengthen your business resiliency for the future.
Waterproof Data Storage Design
Water protection for the ioSafe disaster-proof products consists of 2 different levels of protection:
- Flood Protection - Full immersion in water or saltwater
- Spray/Splash Protection - Water hose spray from sprinklers or the fire department
ioSafe uses a patented water barrier technology call HydroSafe to protect your data. HydroSafe technology is designed to protect data loss from fresh or salt water damage, including full immersion. Simultaneously, HydroSafe technology still allows the heat dissipation required by all computer hardware during normal operation.
All ioSafe products are inherently flood resistant and designed to prevent water from damaging the data. The FloSafe vents can be closed or open - it doesn't matter.

Server Failure & Virus Protection
Server hardware failure is an unfortunate reality that needs to be accounted for. With hard drives, it's not a question of "If" so much as "When" a hard drive will fail. Reliability continues to be improved by the major hard drive manufacturers but the reality is: a hard drive is a mechanism, all mechanisms fail eventually. ioSafe provides a simple and efficient way of backing up primary server data against server failure with the added benefit of disaster protection.
The ioSafe product line helps protect against malicious viruses by providing a redundant storage location for your primary hard drive. ioSafe highly recommends that you install any major brand of virus protection software (Norton, McAfee, etc.) as your first line of virus protection. If a virus does compromise your primary data, the ioSafe provides an onsite disk based copy for simple and fast restore. This means no digging through tapes or trickling data back from an online storage location.
If your primary server fails, simply restore the backup from an ioSafe unit per the software manufacturer's recommendations. This technique can reduce downtime to minutes rather than days or weeks.
There are many different choices of backup software that are compatible with ioSafe products. Virtually any software that supports disk based backup will work. Contact ioSafe directly to learn more how our unique product line can help protect your data.
Theft Protection
The ioSafe disaster-proof product protects you against theft in 4 ways:
- Cable Locking Tab (standard) - Use with standard cable and padlock.
- Stealth Storage - Compact design size allows for hiding under desk, etc.
- Remote Placement - Add ioSafe anywhere to the LAN or WAN. Hide the ioSafe in a storage closet, nearby office or hundreds of miles away. If using a USB version of the ioSafe, network attached adapters for USB are available.
Using one or a combination of the above techniques can minimize loss from theft. The ioSafe is unlikely to be stolen if it's hard to find and bolted to the floor.
Building Collapse Protection
ioSafe's proprietary CrushGuard enclosure has crush-zones and rebar-reinforced insulation designed to withstand a two-story building collapse. CrushGuard technology is standard on ioSafe's S2 and R4 product lines.
The ioSafe S2/R4 has been designed to survive building collapse in a typical two story structure. The S2/R4 utilizes the following design features to provide the ultimate in survivability:
- 16 Gage, Riveted, Welded, Bolted, 6 Sided Steel Box Construction
- Up to 90 lbs. and inches thick composite fireproof insulation
- Crush zone impact protection and elastomeric hard drive encapsulation
- High strength, stainless steel fasteners and materials
There is simply no other drive available that is designed to protect your vital data like an ioSafe. When considering the toughness, disaster protection, capacity, speed and post-disaster support - nothing compares.
