Offsite Tape Storage

The modern economic system thrives on data, uses it as lifeblood and funnels huge amounts of real world wealth through electronic information. Unfortunately, making this aggregation of information as mobile and transferable as needs to be using the internet and local systems alike, also creates vulnerability as thieves and scam artists attempt to acquire this data by any means physical or electronic. Hacking and corporate espionage have become huge issues with billion dollar industries created to protect, sequester, and encrypt sensitive and valuable information for any number of companies in any number of industries.

Vanguard archives operates to protect and service clients who need data held secure, providing a number of services all backed by years of expertise and profoundly designed and constructed security measures.

Services include: offsite tape storage protection for companies operating data centers and implementing backup tape rotation schedules. Tapes are stored in a high security location defended by three layer biometric access, anti-personnel and anti-vehicle functionality, surveillance cameras, and a full suite of fire protection hardware. Walls are rated for well over three hours of fire resistance and fire suppression systems are in place inside. Perhaps most remarkably, the storage areas of the structure are equipped with a Liebert CRAC environmental control system to carefully control temperature and humidity, keeping it inside a narrow range specified to best maintain the integrity of your data tapes. Redundant power is also in place ensuring that the conditions within the vault are maintained through natural disasters or power outages.

Secure transportation in a fleet of reinforced vehicles backed up by experienced, uniformed drivers, GPS tracking and guidance, and Babaco alarms and self-locking mechanisms.

Document storage in a dedicated high security location equipped with fire protection surpassing state or local fire codes, reinforced construction, third party security, highly trained staffing, and direct lines to local law enforcement and firefighters.
