Plug-and-play installation
The easy set up process allows you to integrate WD Sentinel into your office network like a pro. The administration Dashboard quickly guides you through the process including adding users, setting up data access, creating shared folders and scheduling backups.
Easy maintenance
Adding or replacing one of the pre-installed drives is as easy as changing a light bulb. Just open the door and swap out the drives and WD Sentinel does the rest. It seamlessly migrates the server to the appropriate RAID level and automatically expands the servers storage capacity. Your users can still access your business data while the drive is being integrated. No data loss. No down time.
Secure remote access
WD Sentinel is perfect for businesses with employees working in satellite or home offices because you have the security of knowing all your business files are safely stored in one place and remote employees can access them from any computer with an Internet connection. WD Sentinel also performs automatic daily backups so all of the files on all the computers in your network are backed up and protected.

Compatible with multiple operating systems
WD Sentinel includes the Connector software for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS Snow Leopard. Support for major network file-system protocols enables cross-platform compatibility and file sharing among Windows, Mac and Unix/Linux operating systems.
Data Protection
Protecting your data is critical to the long-term success of your business because recreating lost data can take hundreds of hours and cost thousands of dollars. WD Sentinel offers a complete data protection solution and helps safeguard your business against data loss.
The drives inside
Pre-configured with WDs enterprise-class drives for durability and reliability.
Automatic backup and restore
The software saves time and space by performing a full backup the first time and then automatically backing up only the files that have changed since the previous backup. In the event of a drive failure, WD Sentinels easy restore function finds your files, restores them to their previous location and gets you up and running again quickly.
Performance and data protection with RAID For systems with two drives, WD Sentinel is configured to RAID 1 for extra data protection. For systems with three or four drives, RAID 5 provides the benefit of both extra data protection and high performance. learn more
