Recovery and mass ingest of data from physical media to the Azure Cloud
Tape Ark’s mass ingest and restore service is designed for customers who need to liberate multi-petabyte tape based data collections to Azure so the data can be accessed for purposes like research, broadcast streaming, data analytics, AI, machine learning, or the creation of new knowledge from archival collections.
Tape Ark’s Mass Ingest services are available on a one-off project basis. Tape Ark will restore your data from tape into the cloud, so that access to your content can be streamlined and scaled to meet your needs. The data is presented in its original native or raw format, ready for customers to ingest into today’s modern applications. This service enables customers 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 solution suits companies looking to increase the utility and value of their data archives (monetize) such as Research Centres for data analysis and Film Studios for streaming content.
