Vanguard Archives: A Chicago Records Storage Company

Vanguard archive has become well known as a trustworthy and professional resource for data centers throughout the Chicago land area. With years of experience, thousands of hours of training, and a massive investment in security and construction Vanguard is the trusted name to turn to for your Chicago records storage needs.

Firstly Vanguard operates a full fleet of highly secure reinforced transport vessels. Physical theft of data and document backups and archives often takes place during transit as static defenses are left behind. However, with armor reinforcement, highly trained uniformed guards, and double auto locking openings Vanguard makes sure that at no point is your information without the defenses it needs. Each vehicle is GPS equipped and tracked so that nothing can be misplaced or go off course.

Vanguard are also specialist for document and tape backup storage. With three dedicated vaults around the Chicago area they are able to serve a huge area effectively with facilities designed for security from the ground up. The structures are firstly built above flood zones and far from any industrial hazards that could compromise your material, and secondly constructed from a combination of brick and cement reinforced with steel. Because these facilities are dedicated to secure storage no one can even approach without authorization, much less make it through a three layer access system including biometrics and key cards. Third party alarm systems and cameras are installed as well with 24/7 monitoring by qualified, trained, professional guards. All fire systems surpass local and national fire codes with direct lines to local law enforcement and fire control, and additional fire suppression systems on all storage racks above 12 feet. The walls themselves are rated as fire resistant for over four hours.  These zones are also carefully climate controlled by a powerful specialized system with backup generators in case of emergency.

Vanguard also offers document scanning services in addition to document shredding, making sure that your data is either preserved electronically for easy back up and transfer, or destroyed forever limiting any possible vulnerability. Vanguard also specializes in purging and destroying any electronic storage device including printers (with image memory), cds and dvds, computers, hard drives, and magnetic backup tapes.

Vanguard archives is very serious about the importance of data security and maintaining solid backups. If you are in need of a qualified data security provider give them a call and learn exactly why your information is safe with them.
