Tape Storage FAQ
Certainly, tape storage Singapore is still popular among large companies due to the durability of the tapes. Properly maintained tape drives can keep important data for over 30 years or longer, which means tape backups can provide extended data retention and guarantee strong archival stability. This makes tape storage a reliable option for long-term data backup and storage needs.
When it comes to reliability, tape storage outperforms hard drives, as it has an error rate that is significantly lower by four to five orders of magnitude. Moreover, tape storage offers excellent security features such as automatic encryption and inherent protection provided by the medium.
Tape storage is a durable and cost-effective solution for storing large amounts of data, with high capacity and portability. Many companies in Singapore offer tape storage services, which provide reliable and secure offsite storage, disaster recovery, and space-saving benefits for businesses and organizations.
Archiving does not delete data. Instead, it makes the data inactive while preserving it and its associated information. When a record is archived, it becomes inactive but its associated data is preserved, enabling you to generate reports and invoices.
Certainly, tape storage is more cost-effective than hard disk drives. In the realm of enterprise storage, tape storage is the most economical alternative available. When compared to a disk array with the same storage capacity, tape storage is less expensive, even after considering the expenses of storing the tapes offsite.
