How BLACKbox is Replacing Traditional File Servers or NAS Boxes on Both Features and Costs

The modern technology is continuing its journey to beat file servers / NAS boxes with its advanced features and functionalities. The professionals who are managing file servers / NAS boxes and take manual backups will have to transform from IT labourer to IT manager rightly. The scenario can be compared to Uber or Ola replacing the "kali-pili" old vintage taxi drivers. Healthy competition is always ruthless, and the leader forever persists in disrupting and maximizes value for consumers.

Our offering BLACKbox lite does the same. Let’s explore how BLACKbox is replacing traditional file servers or NAS Boxes on features, functionalities, and cost.

BLACKbox's Advancements on Features over Long-established File Server / NAS Boxes

• Active Recycle Bin - BLACKbox is equipped with an active recycle bin to instantaneously rebound from accidental or intentional deletion of data that you don’t find in traditional file servers or NAS Boxes. Not only this but also, it identifies who deleted the file. It empowers enterprises to take strict actions to users who intentionally delete the data to disturb the operations and cause data loss.
• Forced Centralization - BLACKbox comes with the significant functionality of forced centralization, leaving no choice for the users to scatter your digital assets on local desktops or laptops. File servers or NAS boxes contain data only if users explicitly save on it and lead to consequences if not saved. This derives exceptional value by making full use of central storage device and overcome the problem of data decentralization leading to better data loss prevention practices.
• AI Powered Deduplication Engine - BLACKbox is armed and equipped with AI powered deduplication engine, which overcomes challenges posed by users' tendency to preserve duplicate files leading to data related issues. BLACKbox keeps the data lean, and with the assistance of forced centralization, you get everything in one corner. Further, the deduplication engine brings excellence to your data storage efficiencies.
• Time Machine Backup - BLACKbox comes with the functionality of time machine backup. Here, no matter how many times you are stuck with ransomware, you are competent to operate further. File servers / NAS Boxes act measurably after being hit by ransomware.
• Vault & Work-space Structure - BLACKbox comes with Vault and Work-space structure for your complete data handling. Users cannot intentionally or accidentally manipulate your sensitive data, and ransomware cannot affect vaulted data. However, in the case of File servers / NAS Boxes, they still wonder what actually vault and work-space structure is. This protects the frozen and old archival data against ransomware attack and minimizes the data loss in workspace (frequently used open files) at the time of ransomware attack. It is a strong plan B against the situation when antivirus or firewall fails to detect the ransomware attack. It is an innovative and result oriented data loss prevention practice.

BLACKbox's Benefits on Features over Customary File Server / NAS Boxes

Enterprise can define policy on USB usage for keyboard, mouse, printer and deny usage of USB by pen drives, hard drives, mobile phones on USB. It can also define policy that data can be brought in the enterprise network over USB, but cannot be taken out on USB. It can also define policy where entrusted users can take data out on USB, but report is generated and sent to designated users for evidence purpose.
• Innovative Happy Hours in Firewall for Information Security - BLACkbox acts as a firewall for your network and controlling internet usage for users. Admin can define internet policies for each user. It also works on the concept of happy hours, which gives full access of internet to users during happy hours, but at the same time, isolates enterprise data so it cannot be infiltrated out on internet.
• Shield Against Power Fluctuations - BLACKbox is well prepared with a shield against power fluctuations. It never gets offended by your UPS failure or power fluctuations. However, File Servers / NAS Boxes just die on a small amount of dose through power fluctuations or UPS failures.
• Helps Maintain Work Productivity - BLACKbox BonB model is equipped with Breathe on Breathe technology. If one of the hardware fails, the other one is ready at your service on a real-time basis without wasting any time. Hardware failures of traditional File Servers / NAS Boxes give a break to your users at work, causing work productivity losses.
