Tape Migration: Restore
Tape Ark® delivers a scalable approach to tape migration that rapidly positions your data in the cloud, enabling organizations to leap into a world of opportunities. With your data assets restored and highly accessible, they are positioned for maximum value with decreased time to discovery and the ability to harness new insights from existing data.
For many organizations, their tape-based data is encapsulated in a format linked to the software from which it was written to tape. Access to outdated versions of software can be costly and time-consuming. Tape Ark offers tape data recovery and restore without the original software. After restore, Tape Ark will present the data to you in its original native or raw format positioned for ingest for today’s modern applications.
Our support includes a wide range of legacy data, tape, and library formats. Once recovered, your data can be ingested into cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. This process removes hardware dependencies and enables direct access to previously unavailable content.
Tape to cloud migration enables you to get fast access to legacy content – anytime and anywhere. Data in the cloud can be connected to new applications and also used in AI & ML tools. This variety of uses means greater utility and increased value from your legacy data, which can never be achieved from tape-bound data. With demands for fast remote access, there is no better time to migrate your data assets to the cloud.
Migrating legacy data to the cloud also improves searchability and long-term retention. With fast access to historical content, your team can respond to compliance needs, reuse archived data in new projects or eliminate outdated storage infrastructure.
Looking to retire legacy hardware and systems? Tape Ark provides a fully managed ‘restore on demand’ service. We provide tape restoration services that can restore the entire dataset if ever required, or partial restores as needed. Being vendor-agnostic allows Tape Ark to support customers no matter which backup applications and cloud environments they prefer.
We begin with a tape inventory and format identification, data indexing and restoration planning. Once data is recovered, it is securely transferred to your preferred location for immediate use, archiving or analytics. This service eliminates the need for physical media handling or legacy software reinstalls.
Tapes have a set useful life (how long the data stored on tape can be reliably read and accessed) before the burden of tape refreshes begins. Updating from old to new media tapes is time-consuming, resource-heavy, expensive and guarantees you will be in the same situation every few years. An evergreen solution means you never have to worry about updating tapes or infrastructure; you can focus on what is important: your data.
This approach reduces long-term costs and supports ongoing access to valuable information. Once in the cloud, your restored data is protected by built-in redundancy and accessible for approved use across departments or locations.
