Vancouver-based CRU, data security, data transport and disaster-proof data storage devices provider, announced the launch of the ioSafe 1019+ 5-Bay Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. The device can protect up to 140TB of data from fire or water damage in the event of a disaster and provides data backup, file syncing and sharing, and media management. The ioSafe 1019+ keeps digital work secure in temperatures up to 1,550 degrees 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 10 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. CRU acquired ioSafe in July 2018 and has been working to release new disaster-proof ioSafe devices, according to Randal Barber, CEO of CRU. The 1019+ is the first of these products.
