It supports exabytes of native capacity.
Why Organizations Are Turning to Tape Storage
As data volumes continue to grow exponentially and cyber threats intensify, organizations are reevaluating their storage strategies. Tape has re-emerged as a vital component of modern data architectures, offering unmatched advantages for long-term retention, cost control, and security.
Lowest Cost for Long-Term Storage
Tape offers the most affordable solution for storing large volumes of infrequently accessed data. With no power or cooling required for media at rest, it dramatically reduces ongoing storage expenses compared to disk or cloud.
Scales Effortlessly from Terabytes to Exabytes
Tape solutions can expand incrementally or massively, enabling organizations to scale their archives without overhauling infrastructure. This flexibility makes it ideal for midsize to enterprise environments and hyperscale deployments.
Built-In Cyber Resilience
With air-gapped architecture and write-once-read-many (WORM) capabilities, tape provides an immutable layer of defense against ransomware and accidental deletion. It’s one of the most secure ways to store critical data offline.
Supports Regulatory Compliance & Data Integrity
Tape helps organizations meet industry-specific compliance requirements — ensuring data is preserved, verifiable, and accessible for years or decades. Technologies like bit-level integrity checking further ensure long-term reliability.
Environmentally Sustainable and Energy Efficient
Because tape media consumes no energy when idle, it significantly reduces data center power usage and carbon footprint — making it a greener alternative to always-on disk-based storage.
