DeepStore provides highly secure, climate-controlled vaults specifically designed for the long-term preservation of sensitive media formats—including magnetic tapes, video tapes, film reels, and other electronic storage formats. Our specialised storage environments protect against environmental degradation, ensuring your data remains safe, accessible, and compliant for years to come.
What Is Magnetic Tape Storage?
Magnetic tape storage is a trusted method for long-term data archiving, used to store digital information on physical tape cartridges accessed via specialised drives. It remains widely adopted across industries such as:
- Media & broadcasting
- Healthcare
- Finance
- Government & public sector
Tape offers high capacity, durability, and low energy consumption, making it ideal for storing large volumes of infrequently accessed data. It also provides strong protection against cyber threats, including ransomware, as it remains offline and physically secure.
