It’s one thing to store your critical media, it’s quite another thing to manage it all. With thousands upon thousands of tapes moving in and out of the IG2 Vault in Chicago, we have to be sure the right media is accessible, trackable and has a audit trail to support it’s every movement.
As such, IG2 has critical management systems in place to ensure error-free operation.
To learn more about the systems we employ to ensure you worry free confidence, here are some of the critical elements related to the services.
All items are bar-coded and scanned in, allowing for real time monitoring of your media. IG2 uses the TapeTrack® media management system which allows you to track media keeping your current barcode system. We can also customize barcodes to match your specific rotation system and allow full visibility and understanding of what is kept offsite.
IG2 assigns specific space for your media within our Gemtrac® media storage drawers, allowing for great quality and maximizing DR procedures wherever applicable. If preferred, media may also be kept in containers. If containerized, the items will not be removed and the container will not be opened at our facility.
Through IG2′s TapeTrack® media management system you can know specifically where in our data center your media is located. This information is specified down to the volume level, providing information of both drawer and slot allocation.
Through IG2′s TapeTrack® media management system you can view, manage, and automate return dates for your specific media. Management rules specific to your rotation may be created in order to simplify the date management method. The system can also connect to the particular Tape Management System (TMS) you currently use to manage your media library and import return dates and other information, allowing you to maximize time and quality.
IG2 provides you with a component of the TapeTrack® media management software that allows you to specify the media being sent offsite, to request media, manage return dates and overall allow you to have full chain of custody of your media assets.
IG2 offers the option of import software that provides direct synchronization between any Tape Management System (TMS) and the TapeTrack® Framework. Your specific generated text file is integrated into a particular script that can be customized to meet your particular rotation needs.
VeriTrust media management software allows you to request complete history reports containing detailed movement and activity information on your media rotation from the original date to present. These reports meet the rigorous specifications to remain in compliance with laws such as Sarbanes Oxley (SOX).
