Got Tapes? Take the Guesswork Out Of Tape Management- a team of professionals

Most organizations’ data is scattered and growing exponentially, making it difficult to manage. Whether you have an e-discovery request or want to move rich media content to the cloud, it’s hard to know what data you have, where it lives and how to find it fast when you need it most. You need cost-effective, flexible services to help you discover, restore and migrate your data.

Iron Mountain’s Data Restoration and Migration Services 

Iron Mountain’s Data Restoration and Migration Services (DRMS) offer end-to-end solutions that move data from one data source, such as a backup tape, to another storage target like the cloud. Restoration services provide tape identification, cataloging and backup file restoration, so you can decommission legacy systems but retain access to your data. For example, perhaps you inherited tapes through a merger or acquisition or need to digitize media to stream content, but you need help determining what’s on those tapes and what to restore or migrate.

Use the chart below to select and customize the services that best fit your needs.
