August 25, 2018
At a recent media event, Seagate Technology, a leader in storage solutions, collaborated with the leading network attached storage, IP surveillance and network equipment provider, Synology, to introduce a new way to prevent data loss proactively – the IronWolf Health Management for Synology’s DiskStation Manager.
The IronWolf Health Management is exclusively offered on Synology NAS. Leveraging the hardware sensors and software suite built into the IronWolf NAS HDDs, the IHM provides intelligent analysis of drive health that surpasses traditional diagnostic tools. It provides state-of-the-art data recovery by overseeing the health of the DiskStation’s drives by continuously analyzing key parameters, and intercepting, containing, and resolving issues quickly. It also gathers additional information like operating conditions such as temperature and humidity to recommend preventative actions that users can take to avoid problems with their drives.
Additionally, the IronWolf Health Management actively protects the Synology NAS by keeping tabs on environmental and usage conditions, deploying algorithms that measure critical drive health parameters, and providing Seagate’s in-house data recovery with a 90 percent recovery rate.
