A breakthrough in compact desktop ‘plug and play’ S3 object storage repository, ideal for backup and archive for small- and medium-sized companies looking for an easy solution to protect them from Ransomware. TRANSPORTER offers enhanced protection from Ransomware and Malware over and above what is available from traditional NAS solutions.
TRANSPORTER can also be deployed as a state-of-the-art portable secure content shuttle. Customers can store massive amounts of data created at edge locations, provision content as a private cloud if necessary, and later securely transport the data to a central location for import into an on-premises object store such as SymplyAURA. Data can be imported from TRANSPORTER into a main cluster at the push of a button thanks to the universally unique nature of object storage. Once the data transfer is completed the system administrator can reset the device, completely sanitizing the appliance in a few minutes so it is ready to be redeployed back at an edge location.
