DeVries Data Services-because digitally-stored doesn’t mean “no care needed”

Part of managing your information is making sure the medium it’s stored on is taken care of so your data is preserved for as long as possible. This is true whether your storage medium of choice is paper or a tape drive– either way, you need to make sure your data is protected for as long as you need it.

Digital media offers many advantages over traditional paper storage-it can hold much more data and takes up far less space, but it must be handled properly to ensure optimum shelf-life and data preservation. That’s why DeVries offers data services designed to maximize the life of all of your digitally-stored data.

Our data services include:

• Tape exchange – we track when media is added to your inventory and rotate your storage media into and out of service, to help even out wear and extend its usable life
• Offsite tape/media storage – we store tapes and other digital media in a climate-controlled environment tailored to the requirements of your particular medium, to maximizes its life and minimize the possibility of degradation and damage
• Media destruction – when your media nears the end of its usable life, we destroy it properly to ensure your critical information can never be recovered once it has been disposed of

And all of our data services are provided with the same stringent security as we use when handling your paper records, so your information is protected from prying eyes and your risk of confidentiality breach is kept as low as possible. We’ll even give you the documentation you need for compliance purposes when we destroy digital media just as we would for destroying paper records.

It’s just smart business to maximize your return on the investment you make in your digital media just as you do with every other resource you have. Please contact us today to learn more about how our data services will give you the protection and the care you need so you get the most from your stored digital media.
