Buffalo's business NAS "TeraStation" and Toshiba industrial computers verified for operation. NAS with ransomware countermeasures enables backup of critical data at social infrastructure sites for long-term stable operation

Buffalo Inc. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroyuki Maki; hereinafter referred to as Buffalo) has verified the operation of its business NAS "TeraStation" with industrial computers from Toshiba Corporation (Head Office: Kawasaki-shi, Kanagawa Prefecture; President and CEO: Taro Shimada; hereinafter referred to as Toshiba). By combining these two products, it becomes possible to build a more secure data backup environment at sites requiring long-term stable operation, such as social infrastructure sites and manufacturing plants.

Industrial computers used at the forefront of factories and critical infrastructure require 24/7 continuous operation and long-term stability. To safely protect the important data accumulated in these systems, high reliability and robust security are also required for backup storage.

The verification of operation indicates the following potential benefits from combining the two products:

High compatibility for long-term, continuous operation

This NAS uses highly durable NAS-dedicated hard disk drives (HDDs) and supports stable system operation over a long period as a backup destination for industrial computers designed for 24-hour continuous operation. Furthermore, with support for long-term maintenance of up to 7 years, it can be used with peace of mind for extended periods, including post-installation maintenance, even at sites planning long-term equipment operation.

High security compliant with expanding public and private procurement standards

This NAS complies with "JC-STAR," an evaluation and labeling system for security requirement conformity led by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. JC-STAR is referenced as a procurement standard by governments and local authorities, and its adoption is expanding among private companies. At sites utilizing industrial computers that require high security quality, a secure data backup system compliant with JC-STAR can be established.

Ransomware countermeasures to prepare for cyberattacks

This NAS is equipped with various ransomware countermeasures, including snapshots that allow data to be restored to a specific point in the past. This supports rapid business recovery in the event that data on industrial computers is threatened by cyberattacks.
