About Tape Ark

Tape Ark’s mission is to liberate the world’s largest collections of data from tape. These collections of data are often idle and inaccessible and are typically stored in offsite storage warehouses where it provides little value to its owners.

Tape Ark’s ground-breaking technology expedites the ingest of tape based data sitting underutilized and inaccessible to modern cloud technologies bringing your enterprise data from offsite tape storage warehouses to the Azure platform. Once the data is liberated, it can enable organizations to efficiently store and gain access to their data, scale their IT operations and keep their data and backup infrastructure up to date.

As the only dedicated specialists capable of multi-petabyte mass migration of tape media in a wide array of data formats, Tape Ark has worked with customers across a wide range of industries including media and entertainment, oil and gas, and state and federal governments to help them liberate their valuable tape bound data to the cloud.

Mass Ingest

Tape Ark’s scalable approach to tape migration rapidly liberates client data to their chosen cloud storage tier enabling organizations to leap into the world of opportunities on offer in the Microsoft Azure ecosystem. Then, with their data assets restored and highly accessible, they are positioned to get maximum value from their most precious assets. With this new access to their data, customers are able to harness new insights and monetize their previously inaccessible data.

The Tape Ark data restore process can be done without the use of the customers original software or hardware. Preservation customers can elect to retain all the original tape formatting or have the data restored back to its original file state.
