Axxana Phoenix backup system promises to withstand earthquakes and other disasters

It's not exactly for everybody, but those looking to spare no expense when it comes to protecting their data may want to strongly consider adding Axxana's elaborate Phoenix backup system to their shopping list (just below the Bond villain hideout and above the robot army). At the heart of the system is the Phoenix Black Box pictured above, which houses an SSD array that stores your essential data, and packs both WiFi and 3G connectivity to let you retrieve it even if the box itself is inaccessible -- which it may well be, considering that it's designed to withstand earthquakes, floods, and other disasters (including shocks up to 40 Gs and temperatures up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit). Of course, the system also gets paired with a remote backup service for an added layer of protection, and you'll have access to a full range of management tools to keep an eye on your data at all times.

How much does it cost? More importantly, how much does it hurt when I throw it at the faces of my enemies?

You must be a really big guy.

* Height – 38 in. (96 cm)
* Width – 27 in. (70 cm)
* Depth – 48 in. (123 cm)
* Weight – 436 lb. (198 kg)

pfft, 436 lbs? My penis weighs that much.

[Bort Simpson Posted Apr 27th 2009 5:09PM]

pfft. One of my nuts weigh as much.





Difficult to walk around though.

[barry99705 Posted Apr 27th 2009 2:31PM]

Sorry, they used "Paradigm Shift" on the product page, which makes the whole think a bunch of bullcrap.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 27th 2009 3:03PM]

I thing it's pretty cool! (swidt?)

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 27th 2009 2:35PM]

"built to last" is seen on the front... Is a really annoying and pointless duralast commercial coming to anyone's mind?

[Prokanda2oh Posted Apr 27th 2009 4:53PM]

yes actually.. the tune just played in my head and then I found your comment. exactly what I was looking for.

[GN1 Posted Apr 27th 2009 2:38PM]

makes me wonder if this would be able to withstand the one thing that others could not - dumb users

[GingerFox Posted Apr 27th 2009 2:40PM]

i wish i had a need and the money for this, looks awesome

[AlCabon Posted Apr 27th 2009 2:43PM]

My pr0n will finally be safe.

[admlshake Posted Apr 27th 2009 2:43PM]

I'm sorry, but my back up solution absolutely MUST withstand the rise of the Zombie hored. Maybe in the next version.

[weirdo557 Posted Apr 27th 2009 6:22PM]

and here i thought i was going to be clever and say the first thing about zombies. sigh

[Nix Posted Apr 27th 2009 2:44PM]

What about an EMP?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 27th 2009 2:45PM]

So after the earthquake and the power is out and generators are dead, what do we do? Oh, remote backup. ..

[Picklesworth Posted Apr 27th 2009 2:49PM]

And rest assured, it is not weighted down by pitiful meatbag emotions like fear.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 27th 2009 3:03PM]

hehehe, i't says it's terror proof :D


somebody is paranoid

[Decoy Posted Apr 27th 2009 3:49PM]

Going by the icon its safe against acts of SomethingAwful.

[Bandigolo Posted Apr 27th 2009 5:38PM]

I'm willing to wager that a hand grenade would obliterate this thing.

[ChrisK15 Posted Apr 27th 2009 6:37PM]

I dunno, it weighs almost 450 pounds. Maybe it could survive a grenade, but probably not a guy with dynamite on his belt.

[waterwagen Posted Apr 27th 2009 3:14PM]

Totally overkill for my life, but ME WANT.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 27th 2009 4:09PM]

but can it withstand the swine flu???


...too soon?

[Bandigolo Posted Apr 27th 2009 6:39PM]

too soon.

[looselycoupled Posted Apr 27th 2009 9:55PM]

Its obviously for enterprises... but all that insane protection and huge 400lb box and it only stores up to 300GB of flash???
