Current situation:

Digitization of archives and heritage institutions is an important goal to make culturally and historically valuable information accessible and preserved for future generations. The introduction of digital file processing and sustainable archiving requires secure, reliable and low-maintenance storage systems. Laws and regulations, such as the GDPR and specific records management guidelines, impose strict requirements for audit-proof and compliant storage.

In addition, the threat of ransomware attacks is growing, which can also seriously affect archives and heritage institutions. The loss or manipulation of digital heritage can cause irreparable damage. These risks can be minimized by a modern backup and archiving strategy that combines high availability, maximum security and cutting-edge technologies.

FAST LTA is the market leader in audit-proof archive storage and since 2008 has been helping heritage institutions manage growing data volumes, comply with legal requirements and protect valuable data from loss and manipulation. Together with our software and system partners, we offer sustainable solutions to securely digitize and preserve cultural heritage.

Our systems are certified.

From the very beginning, we have attached great importance to legal compliance and compatibility during development. Therefore, our archive storage systems also carry the certificate for compliant archiving, which includes GDPR compliance, for example, for the “right to erasure.”

Our archive systems undergo extensive certification and compatibility testing with our software partners. In this way, we ensure trouble-free connectivity and operation for years to come.

Our systems are flexibly scalable.

Whether you start with 2 or 200 terabytes, whether you want to expand to 4 terabytes or 2 petabytes: Our systems adapt flexibly to your data growth and can be scaled at any time – even retroactively – simply by adding new media.

We have a flexible and fair licensing model. As you grow, existing volume licenses are credited: The larger the system gets, the lower the cost per TB.

Our systems protect your data.

In times of ransomware and flood disasters, sensitive data needs special protection. Our systems are designed to last decades and incorporate various data protection technologies.

Depending on the storage medium, we use different data storage methods to prevent data loss due to batch errors. Written data is regularly and automatically checked for creeping errors (“bit red”) and automatically restored. Our linear file system with erasure coding and quadruple redundancy, along with continuous snapshots, effectively protects against tampering and accidental deletion.

And replicating data to a second location prevents complete downtime due to disaster or theft.
