Easy-to set up. Easy to manage.
Designed to be up and running in minutes. WD Sentinel comes with everything you need to centralize your business files. Once it's set up, it intelligently manages drive and network status, reducing maintenance time so you can focus on your business.

Enterprise-class data protection for your small business.

Built-in remote access.
Enhance your business efficiency and productivity by enabling anytime, anywhere access to your business information. Your employees and trusted partners have secure access to your company files without the complexity and expense of a VPN solution.

Plug-and-play installation - The easy set up process allows the small business owner or IT consultant to integrate WD Sentinel into your office network like a pro. The administration dashboard quickly guides the user through the set up process including adding users, setting up user access, creating public or private shares, and scheduling backups.

Easy maintenance - Replacing one of the pre-installed drives or adding an additional drive is as easy as changing a light bulb. Just open the door and swap out the drives. WD Sentinel does the rest. It seamlessly migrates the server to the appropriate RAID level and automatically expands the server's storage capacity. Connected users can still access critical 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 the network are backed up and protected.

LCD Display panel readily offers critical information - The LCD display panel on the front of the device allows the user to monitor the system status and critical alerts.

Realtime system status through the administration dashboard - View realtime updates for drive, RAID, and network status through WD Sentinel's dashboard, which includes easy-to-use task wizards to help the user set backup schedules, administer user accounts, and manage public and private shares.
