DR (Disaster Recovery) Site and ioSafe Hardware Applications and ROI Considerations
Recovery objectives (while they vary from business to business) play a crucial role at every DR site. Many tape and asynchronous online backup strategies have a nightly backup component and therefore have a restore point of one or two days. ioSafe on-site disk-based strategies working with continuous data protection software can have recovery points of minutes or even seconds. In the event of an extreme disaster such as fire or flood the ioSafe has user recoverable hard disk drives for on-site recovery - meeting even the most stringent requirements for recovery time objectives.

Each hard disk drive on the ioSafe R4 is independently waterproof up to 30 feet of saltwater for up to 30 days. So even in extreme disaster recovery conditions it is possible to enable a complete recovery (even after a quarantine situation has limited access to your DR site or data center).
Simply remove the hard disks and put them into a recovery array and you'll be able to perform a complete bare metal restore of your primary server. This unique ability to recovery from either a server crash, fire or flood gives your DR efforts and strategy another dimension and strength unlike any other single backup solution.
