 Power and Cost Efficient Data Storage

Current backup solutions use hard drives and/or tape media for long term data storage. Limited by reliability, both hard drive and tape systems fail to meet the requirements of today's growing data storage needs. The TeraStack^® Solution by Hie Electronics solves the inevitable shortcomings of current data storage solutions. Compared to the large footprint, excessive maintenance costs, and short lifespan of hard drives and tape media, the TeraStack^® Solution significantly surpasses current industry standards. The TeraStack^® Solution uses Blu-ray optical discs, offering an archive lifetime of 50 years for re-writable discs and 100 years for write once discs. The migration of data to new media technology is eliminated with the use of Blu-ray discs. The reliability of the TeraStack^® Solution will ensure data storage and retrieval integrity for decades while increasing cost efficiency with process automation, reliability, and storage density.

 Blu-ray: Law Enforcement's Answer to Reliable Digital Asset Management

It can be difficult for Law Enforcement and related organization to keep up with recent innovations in the data storage industry, to improve storage capabilities or to maintain accessibility to an organization's existing data. When chain of custody is of paramount importance, advancements in optical media technology present robust new opportunities for digital asset management (DAM) in the law enforcement arena. Blu-ray&trade based optical data storage offers the next generation in secure, long-term digital multimedia evidence (DME) storage with many critical benefits to law enforcement agencies as well as related organizations such as the local municipalities that are starting to play a bigger role in the de-centralized IT architecture.
