With confidential data more than ever open to risks nowadays, the latest DataGuard Tape Tracking System could enable manufacturers to rest a little easier now. Designed by Oakdale, Minn.-based Imation Corp., the system is claimed to make use of RFID-based labels attached to each tape cartridge, which in actual is checked in and checked out via entry and exit workstations, as maintained by the company. James Milligan, general manager, commercial/OEM division, Imation said that the main role of tape in the data center hasn’t come to any change, but what seems to have changed is the rising pressure on data center managers, for reasons of compliance and governance, to be capable of locating and retrieving data quickly. These days highly rigid information security and financial compliance laws, plus audit requirements, are driving organizations to observe their processes for managing these assets. In some cases, organizations have to make data loss or theft public which most of the time causes to negative exposure.
