The Risks Are in the Details
Storing sensitive electronic media for long periods of time is not without risk. It isn’t enough to just control the temperature of a data storage location–lots of vendors can do that. Your data media requires specialized protection as well as secure safekeeping from fire and water damage, theft or other unintended loss. At Underground Archives, we protect your media from dust, heat and humidity as well as natural disasters. Our underground facilities provide for geographic separation, offering piece of mind unavailable anywhere else. All of this means that we have designed our environmentally controlled subsurface vaults to exceed the demands of long-term preservation.
Data Vaults
Tapes, disks, CDs and DVDs, if not properly stored, can degrade from a host of environmental conditions. Conditions such as binder hydrolysis, scission, tape swelling and even the orientation of the magnetic media while in storage can render such media unreadable and unrecoverable. Our data vaults control both temperature and humidity to a strictly monitored standard, minimizing fluctuation above or below your storage requirements.
At Underground Archives, our data vault solutions offer you outstanding protection. You can select from any of our standard sizes and configurations or we can work with your team to design the size and/or the environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) for your customized vault.
Long Term Protection, by Design
What happens outside the data vault is as important as the environment inside. All of our vaults are located underground, leveraging natural and technological protections. Our vaults are protected by state-of-the-art security protocols and are located in Western Pennsylvania, over 60 miles from the Pittsburgh metropolitan region, providing valuable geographic separation for disaster recovery readiness.
We also offer full 24 x 7 secure access for your staff. Alternately, we can provide you with expert management services for the placement, retrieval and delivery of the assets maintained in your vaults.
There is no substitute for subject matter expertise when it comes to the management of your vital data resources. Underground Archives is the right choice for your organization to ensure the protection and care of these irreplaceable assets.
