The advances of
computer technology
offer many new opportunities
but also new challenges.

One of the most important challenges is tackling
the problem of digital obsolescence: ensuring that the
digital information we create and store today
will continue to be accessible for as long as we may need it.

A complete archiving solution
must retain knowledge and
ensure it can be found and
read when needed.

A genuine archive combines tools for ingest, storage, management and
access. It also includes the capability to preserve information such
that it is accessible by consumers when required.

We can help understand and
achieve your archiving goals

An archive is often the last part of a comprehensive data
management vision to be delivered. We can help you
understand the problem and provide the solution.

Tessella, the world leader in digital archiving technology, has developed a ‘Safety Deposit Box’ to provide services to allow you to store and preserve critical digital information in a highly reliable yet accessible manner. Most importantly, it contains an Active Preservation capability to ensure the information it is trusted with is usable long into the future.
