Media Vaulting and Tape Rotation
If disaster strikes, how safe is your company's data? Do you store all of your data in one location? How long would it take you to recover and get back to business? A media vault or tape rotation service helps protect your data in the event that your location is severely damaged or destroyed.
Advanced Information Management (AIM) offers an off-site media vault that is climate-controlled with very strict tolerances for temperature and humidity. This extra step helps prolong the life of the storage media. AIM also offers the fire protection and physical security you expect with any off-site storage facility.
Scheduled data tape rotation and proper storage is a cornerstone in any business continuity plan. It isn't enough to store tapes. They must be picked up promptly, handled correctly, securely stored in ANSI-standard conditions and returned to you upon request.
AIM has uniformed security professionals who will pick up your backup tapes on a regular schedule to minimize lost data. The tapes are scanned for tracking purposes and in order to document their location on each step of the process. Tapes are then transported in a secure vehicle to our media vault facility.
In the event that you need to retrieve your tape at any time, simply notify us, and we will deliver the tape to your recovery location. We are available 24 hours per day.
