Simple, Affordable and Effective Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) Solution

Whether it’s ransomware, hardware failure, or user error, many businesses are simply unprepared for data loss, despite the well-known statistics on the effects and the staggering costs of downtime. In order for your business to successfully protect both your data and your customers, it is imperative to think beyond simple backups to the cloud or another server, and implement an effective Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) strategy.

For businesses with tighter budgets, a turn-key Business and Disaster Recovery (BDR) appliance can offer the perfect blend of functionality and affordability to prevent data loss. An effective BDR appliance solution should include powerful hardware with a myriad of flexible backup and recovery features that make the recovery process fast and simple.

A solution built for the ‘S’ in ‘SMB’, the TeraStation with Windows Server IoT 2019 is a Network-Attached Storage that can greatly help you achieve Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for businesses of any size while keeping your costs at a minimum. The WS IoT TeraStation provides automated backups for simple and hands-free data protection, and offers streamlined replication and recovery options to reduce downtime. Since the TeraStation WS IoT is a Windows Server product, it can be integrated seamlessly into an existing Windows environment, and supports any Windows-compatible cloud service to be used as part of your backup strategy.
Leveraging Windows Server IoT 2019

Windows Server IoT 2019 offers the full functionality of Windows Server 2019, and includes native backup and security features to combat cyberthreats, especially ransomware. Data Deduplication to optimize redundancies and potentially reduce the amount of space needed and lowers the occurrence of file corruption, and the Microsoft Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R) further protects data from simple errors to ensure data integrity.

Windows Server also offers Hyper-V virtual machine (VM) backup and recovery for more streamlined, low-cost quick data recovery. By utilizing the NAS device as a VM archive, you can create entire virtual machines (VMs) on any hardware that supports them. Restoring VMs eliminates the need to restore or duplicate individual hardware devices—and having to contend with failures due to hardware dependencies or software reinstalls. Instead, you can recover to any hardware or run workloads on standby hardware, allowing you to easily access backup data and to bypass downtime temporarily.

Buffalo WS IoT NAS for Effortless BDR

The TeraStation with Windows Server IoT 2019 is a Network-Attached Storage that serves as a turn-key BDR appliance to help you execute and maintain a BDR strategy without breaking your budget. The WS IoT TeraStation offers both on-premises data security while also providing offsite replication capabilities to protect against ransomware and other threats, and leverages a myriad of Windows Server IoT 2019 features to help you effect your BDR strategy and achieve key recovery targets.
