Io Safe - History

History

ioSafe, Inc. was incorporated in 2005 by the primary inventor and CEO, Robb Moore. In response to independent research regarding data loss and catastrophic business loss from fire, flood and other natural disasters their first product (released in 2005) was the ioSafe S1, the first external hard drive to have both fire and flood protection. The ioSafe S1 hard drive was later redesigned and re-released in a dual drive RAID configuration called the S2.

In 2006 in response to enterprise business demand for a fire and flood resistant network storage, the ioSafe R4 was introduced. Shortly after this NAS appliance entered production, ioSafe was granted and published patents in May 2007 for their FloSafe (fireproof) and HydroSafe (waterproof) technology.

July 2008 brought forth the world’s first disaster protected internal hard drive with the 3.5 Pilot and 3.5 Squadron drives. These 3.5” form factor disk drives are used in computers, desktops and servers which allow improved disaster recovery and less risk of data loss. Partnered with global leader Fujitsu, the 3.5 inch form factor hard drive from ioSafe has allowed for more applications of the ioSafe technology to improve data recovery and reduce risk from disaster.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?
    Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)

    All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
