SpectrumData director, Guy Holmes, said that, after recently completing the restoration and recovery of the digital assets of the Commonwealth Government, the company had been chosen by Geoscience to supply “world class data storage products to help preserve this valuable asset of national significance.” Geoscience Australia provides information which enables the government to make informed decisions about the allocation of resources, the management of the environment and the safety of critical infrastructure, and Holmes says “the 3592 cartridges will be used to back-up copies of the organisation’s data in robotic tape libraries, to be held in “offsite storage for archival and disaster recovery purposes – ensuring the availability and protection of this valuable information for generations to come.” SpectrumData is a long standing supplier to Geoscience Australia, and Holmes says the company has been heavily involved in completing the restoration of the entire geophysical data collection held at Geoscience Australia, including valuable seismic and geophysical data. “Geoscience Australia placed significant emphasis on the technical merits of the bids and SpectrumData’s supply history and proven success in large scale data management was a crucial factor in the selection process,” Holmes said. |
