THE CHALLENGE

BENEFITS

The exponential growth of information in the world is chased by new technology trying to meet the increasing need for space and speed. This results in significant amounts of valuable information on old systems and media carriers that either deteriorate become obsolete. Traditional data carriers (such hard disks, optical disks and magnetic tapes) may physically last a long time, however the denser and more advanced they become, the harder it is for future data retrieval. As these mediums are advanced every few years to be faster and increase stor- age capacity, previous versions become obsolete and data stored eventually needs migration. This process is time consuming, expensive and involves a high risk of data loss.

• Data is free from legacy systems

• Reduced storage cost

• Greater data accessibility

• Migration-free and future proof medium

USECASE

We provided critical tape extraction services for a major Norwegian oil exploration corporation that could not readback seismic data stored on their existing tape based storage solution. After analysing their requirements, we initiated an optimised process of information extraction, achieving 100% readback of all the missing data. The data was then able to be secured for future access.
