Destroying cartridges is expensive
Most decommissioned cartridges are destroyed. Destroying cartridges is expensive and hostile to the environment. Our technology offers an alternative that is environmentally friendly and also saves you money.
Decommissioned cartridges could often be redeployed within the same enterprise. Instead of purchasing new cartridges, a data center within an organization could use decommissioned cartridges from another data center.
In other instances the decommissioned cartridges can be sold to the large and vibrant used LTO cartridge market.
Whether redeploying cartridges within an organization or selling cartridges, the most important issue for the owner of the media is the erasing of the data before a cartridge is moved off site. For the intended recipient of the used cartridges the issue is knowing the quality of the cartridges.
Erasing the data
Before media is moved even within an enterprise, the data have to be completely erased. Our equipment is capable of erasing the data at a level that is unrepresented. The erase procedure is secure and fast.
Knowing the cartridge quality
Even when the cartridge comes from a data center of the same enterprise, its condition may not be known. It could have been used past its life time, or it could have been used in a mis-adjusted tape drive. Our equipment analyzes the complete history of the cartridge, measures the edge quality [Why does the edge quality matter?] and gives the recipient a comprehensive report. See Quality Report for details.
