Partnership combines Seagate’s advanced data
management expertise and Tape Ark’s unique data restoration
technology, allowing zettabytes of tape-bound data to be moved to
the cloud for access and analysis using AI-driven technologies
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) today announced a
partnership with Tape Ark, enabling businesses around the world to
migrate tape-archived data to the cloud using secure and proven
processes. Thus, valuable latent data can be restored, preserved
and once again made instantly accessible. Seagate’s Lyve Data
Services, powered by Tape Ark, will be moving these legacy data
archives online, bringing massive datasets back to life, thereby
extracting tremendous value and enabling businesses to mine their
data for significant insights.
According to Tape Ark’s research, there are estimated to be over
1 billion tapes stored in physical offsite locations. Much of this
data is at risk, not easily accessible, and may suffer from decay,
deterioration and even permanent loss. Activating and analyzing the
data stored on tape archives, some of which is decades-old, can be
of high value to both public and private organizations.
“With Seagate’s expertise, zettabytes of data can be migrated to
cloud platforms. On a global scale, using new edge hardware
solutions, we will securely transport the data enabling businesses
to recover, access, index, and analyze their tape-stored archived
data,” said Paul Steele, senior director of Seagate’s Lyve Data
Services. “By moving this data to the cloud, previously
inaccessible data can be put to work using technologies such as AI,
industry 4.0 and other analytical tools.”
This partnership enables organizations from all industries to
regain access to their data, potentially turning a stagnant cost
center into a valuable business asset. Once data is liberated and
ingested into the public cloud it becomes available to the
application of data analytics thus empowering companies to exploit
the inherent potential and worth of previously inaccessible
data.
“Our vision is to give client data back to the client and make
it instantly and economically accessible to them where and when
they want it,” said Guy Holmes, Tape Ark founder and chief
executive officer. “Ingesting these data sets into the cloud puts
them back in control of their data assets and potentially turns an
inaccessible, decaying cost center into a valuable revenue
stream.”
