What channel partners are saying
“I love this little black box. The form factor is great, and the redundant NICs and PSUs go a long way to alleviating my issues with proprietary components I can’t easily replace myself.” Sam Wood Director, Tentacle Software Limited “WD Sentinel has been PERFECT for storing raw video footage and for storing all the client backups. I love it. I use it for 2 things. It is domain joined and backs up most of our workstations, and will be backing up a new Windows MultiPoint Server… I also use it as a secondary storage point for archived video footage. Dana Epp CEO, Scorpion Software “The size, tool less ease of service, and the dual/redundant power supplies and network connections make this a real work horse for a small office storage server. The LCD screen is also very handy to check the status of the unit. It’s been running great for me." Kevin Royalty Managing Partner, Total Care Computing Consulting, LLC What end users are saying
“We don’t have many catastrophic PC failures, but in a small business without a full-time IT staff, any failure is catastrophic. With WD Sentinel, we can restore a PC in two hours rather than two days.” Dave Nickason Legal Administrator, Dibble & Miller “With WD Sentinel on our team, it’s like having a personal assistant who always has everything we need.” Adam Bauman Video Coordinator, Basketball Program, Santa Clara University “WD Sentinel gives us plenty of room to store tons of email at a very reasonable cost. It also potentially saves the Napa County Office of Education millions of dollars in legal liability by enabling us to back up 100 percent of our email boxes.” Brian Dake Director of Information Technology, Napa County Office of Education “WD Sentinel Dashboard is really easy to use, and connecting our PCs to the server was a piece of cake. It has become our file server, backup solution and remote access solution, all in one.” David Lii Assistant Portfolio Manager, Saratoga Research Investment Management
