Are you maintaining legacy tape infrastructure and feel like there’s no way out?

Do you want to modernize your data archives but feel overwhelmed by large or complex collections?

Look no further than Tape Ark’s SaaS Based Legacy Tape Restore and Management solution.

Tape Ark will virtualize your entire physical tape collection, and preserve your legacy backups to a secure, highly redundant, low-cost Virtual Tape Library (VTL) based in Azure. The end result is a tape, hardware and software free tape collection available in the cloud at the click of a button. The backup software, tape drives, and tapes themselves exist as virtual copies, removing expensive and no longer necessary hardware and software from customers' infrastructure. Even the original appearance of the media is documented and preserved, such that exact replicas of the physical tape collection could be reproduced in the future if desired.

Customers can access the Tape Ark client portal to browse their archive, request restores and delete data that is no longer required. The SaaS platform is available on multi-year tailored plans and is the perfect solution for companies with long-term data retention requirements, looking to remove the overheads associated with managing a physical tape library, data center space, offsite tape storage and all of the licensing and maintenance associated with a physical implementation of the restore platform.

It's the simplest replacement for physical tape archiving and long-term preservation!
