Archiving Solutions for Individual Requirements

All industries and all sectors are faced with the question of archiving digital data material – and finding the right solution. The answer depends on several factors. The size of the system installation, tape automation with digital tapes or hard-drive-based NAS storage solutions, permanent or temporary archiving, memory capacities, data types, and much more.

Can your archiving system meet all these requirements? Is it cost-efficient and energy-efficient? Does it have secure storage media, virus protection, and reliable long-term storage solutions? Can it digitize, store, recycle, and re-use 13/15 mm film and tape material? Can it be linked to an overarching MAM system? Is this planned or was this already implemented?
