The world’s only dedicated tape to cloud mass migration experts
When undergoing a tape to cloud migration journey it is important to avoid paying for multiple sets of storage, particularly if you’re not sure what to do with your backup tape media after the cloud ingest. Our flexible tape storage solution is designed to give you all the benefits of migrating to your preferred cloud platform and none of the hassles from traditional offsite tape vaulting services.
Tape Ark® offers a holistic solution to store your tapes before, during, and post-migration allowing you to continue to access your tapes if and when required. Tape Ark will also continue to store your tapes in the event you’re undecided about your organization’s next data management steps or you have a compliance and/or regulatory requirement to do so. Our offsite backup tape & data storage ensures the security and accessibility of your tape data.
Tape Ark can quickly restore your tape–bound data if and when required. We can restore to your preferred cloud platform via a direct ingest or device transfer. For major corporations with distributed tape restore operations for legacy content, Tape Ark can help centralize this asset, saving on tape storage costs, data center space, and staffing along with other operational costs. Our tape backup system and backup tape solutions provide a streamlined approach to managing your data.
Your data’s security and safety is our highest priority. We only partner with the most trusted names in the world of tech, ensuring your tape backup drive and tape storage are handled with the utmost care. Our offsite tape vaulting services guarantee that your data remains protected and accessible when needed.
Putting legacy tapes into secure storage protects them from many external threats, but it does not stop the media itself from aging. Over time, magnetic tape can deteriorate due to factors such as age, storage conditions, and previous handling, while the drives and software needed to read older formats can also become obsolete. Tape Ark notes that both deterioration and technological obsolescence can leave organizations with data that is physically present but increasingly difficult to access.
That is why aging tape estates should not simply be left untouched and forgotten. Understanding the condition, format, and accessibility of your media can help you identify tapes that may require attention before valuable data becomes harder to recover.
In addition to the many features of our tape data storage system, Tape Ark offers comprehensive offsite tape backup and offsite tape vaulting services. Offsite tape data storage minimizes the risks associated with local storage solutions and provides additional layers of security and data recovery.

In our experience, no more than five years from writing the tapes. It is highly likely that during that five year period that new tape drives and software will have been adopted by the organization and this could lead to tapes being orphaned and inaccessible by modern systems.
