Security

Intended Use

The Silent Brick System is intended for the secure storage of large amounts of data. Therefore, the following points are particularly relevant for intended use:

• Data backup and recovery
  The linear data structure with random access is suitable for backup scenarios.

• "Active" archiving
  By having short access times to the data, large amounts of archive data can be stored "actively", meaning they are constantly accessible.

• File server
  Large amounts of files can be stored redundantly, so that a backup is not necessary.

• Data transport
  The removable hard drive containers allow for easy transport of large amounts of data.

• Replication and synchronization of data
  Data can be replicated and stored, for example, as an offline copy. Synchronization of data from the source system to the replica can occur automatically when the replica is reconnected to the source system.

To ensure permanent data integrity, insert offline stored Silent Bricks at least once a year and activate a "Force Audit". If it reaches 100% and no defective drives are detected, the Silent Brick can be removed again.

Predictable misuse

The Silent Brick System is not suitable for use as a database server. This would require too high an access rate.
