Proper corporate governance requires robust and resilient data back-up and recovery to ensure business continuity. Magnetic tape technology continues to be the backbone to what is considered a best-in-class back-up and recovery solution despite the fact that many companies are moving some of their data to the cloud. Here is why.
One of the key advantages of tape technology is its long-term durability. The shelf-life of data stored on tape is certified by tape manufacturers for up to 30-years; no other data storage technology comes close to this storage life. It is also the lowest cost solution, is inherently intrusion proof, and is compliant with evolving, and increasingly stringent, privacy regulations.
Hard disk drives, for example, a very common alternative storage technology to tape, are more expensive and notorious for corruption and failure over time and thus more costly and higher risk. Companies who rely on cloud disk recovery solutions often pay more when a disk fails due to the complexity of the recovery process. It is for these reasons that magnetic tape technology is the long-term storage solution of choice for the vast volumes of business and internet data.
