ArcTape is the "hierarchical" service of archive and reserve data storage based on use of library of the magnetic tapes IBM Tape Library and the software solution IBM Spectrum Storage.
The companies 3Data, Fujifilm and Mastertel announced on November 22, 2017 start of joint commercial "hierarchical" service of archive and reserve data storage ArcTape.
As a rule, highly reliable hierarchical storage is unrolled in the large companies. Thanks to ArcTape service an opportunity to take advantages of such architecture appears also at representatives of small and medium business, emphasized in the companies.
Together with our partners we started the flagman project for the market to meet constantly growing demand for data storage. Thanks to the solution the client receives the high performance, scalability, resistance to external factors and data security at significantly lower costs in comparison with use of other carriers. Besides, storage life of data on tapes makes more than 30 years — it is tens times higher, than storage life on disks — the CEO of company 3Data Ilya Hala emphasized. |
The combination of operational opportunities of the disk and solid-state systems to the greatest possible reliability (1 x 1019 BER) and durability (over 30 years) of data storage provided with tape libraries is only energetically and financially effective response to global growth of information volumes. In addition, by an example of Google, the ArcTape project allows to organize the last line of defense from the hacker attacks and program failures — the representative of Fujifilm company Dmitry Alekseev commented. |
Modular scalable tape library IBM TS3500 with cartridges from Fujifilm of hierarchical service ArcTape is located on the platform of network of club data centers of company 3Data.
The ArcTape service is suitable for storage of large volumes of data (audio-and videoarchives, backup copies of IT systems, other data bulks which are not requiring instant access for downloading). At the same time availability and safety of data transmission which within the project is ensured by the telecom operator Mastertel company organizing the protected digital channels and providing direct fiber lines plays an important role.
