Flash Manager
Protect your gateways from silent storage failure
Industrial routers live on flash storage with a finite write life. Log storms, chatty apps, and unexpected power loss can wear it out or corrupt data quietly—until a device won’t boot, loses config, or needs a truck roll. Flash Manager adds device-side discipline to reduce unnecessary writes, watch flash health, and recover cleanly when something goes wrong. The result is higher estate uptime, fewer site visits, and predictable lifecycle costs.

Flash Manager: What it is and why it matters
Routers, gateways, and edge devices often run for years in cabinets and roadside enclosures. Over time, small issues compound: excessive logging, temporary files left on disk, or power cuts during writes. These create silent storage failures that surface as random reboots, missing settings, or “dead” devices. Flash Manager gives you a clear policy for how the OS writes, rotates, verifies, and restores data—so failure is less likely, and recovery is faster and controlled when it’s needed.
For leaders, that means better uptime and fewer unplanned visits. For engineers, it means deterministic policies, visible health signals, and repeatable fixes you can run remotely.
How Flash Manager Works
Here’s the simple workflow behind Flash Manager. It puts guardrails around how the router uses flash so you catch problems early, cut wasteful writes, and recover cleanly if something goes wrong. At a glance, it does five things: monitor, reduce, protect, recover, and operate at scale.
- Monitor and surface flash health: Track write rates and health indicators so you can spot problem devices early, not after a failure.
- Reduce unnecessary writes: Move volatile data to memory where possible, rotate and compress logs, and prevent runaway processes from filling storage.
- Protect configuration and firmware: Apply changes atomically with verification, keep known-good states, and make rollbacks simple and auditable.
- Recover with confidence: If storage becomes unreliable, place the device in a safe operating mode, preserve critical settings where possible, and guide a clean restore path.
