Prevention. Intervention. Recovery.

SkyHawk Health Management actively helps protect your video storage by focusing on prevention, intervention, and recovery options. SHM supports users in managing hard drive conditions and includes Rescue Data Recovery Services for damages caused by mechanical, accidental or natural disasters.

For this purpose, SHM analyses different parameters relevant for the condition of the drive, while using proprietary algorithms to determine any issues. Based on the result and information on other specifications, such as temperature and humidity, SHM will then recommend different preventive measures and possible interventions depending on current drive health.

RAID RapidRebuild™ is the latest feature and significantly reduces the time needed to perform volume rebuilds. It rebuilds only the failed striped data, then copies over the rest of the unaffected striped data to a spare hard drive. SHM also offers access to industry-leading Rescue Data Recovery Services, so that you don’t have to worry about your data.

Prävention Intervention Wiederherstellung

Prevention.

SHM monitors operating conditions and recommends preventive measures—e.g. temperature regulation and RV suppression—to guarantee the highest performance.

Intervention.

SHM analyses various internal performance parameters to check the condition of the drive. If a drive is found to be deteriorating, the NVR OS will recommend a backup to guarantee future access to the data.

Recovery.

The Rescue Data Recovery Services included can provide customers with the peace of mind that skilled professionals are working in a highly secured environment on recovering their data.
