Media Storage

Today, most organisations are clear about the need to protect their most important asset - their data. Human error, a PC crash, a virus, malicious actions, flood, fire, theft or loss of a laptop - can all too easily put this data and therefore the business at risk.

Storing your media offsite is a secure, simple and affordable alternative to a traditional tape storage system in-house. Media Storage enables clients to store all-important backup media in a secure off-site environment, within fireproof safes at Skanco’s Braddan office. Each customer has allocated space within the safe and customer’s authority must be granted before media from the safe can be removed.
