Data Back-Up: Tape Libraries Are Sooooo Two Thousand and Late

If you've got, oh, tons and tons of information that's integral to your business, you've got to store this information somewhere. And, for years and years and years, businesses have been backing up this information every night to tape libraries. Now, tape used to be the definitive way to go; say, when Bananarama came on the scene. But do you remember what your Walk-Man did to your Bananarama cassette? Or, how after repeatedly rewinding and fastforwarding to listen to "Cruel Summer" again and again, the tape finally just disintigrated? That's a lot like what can happen to your integral business information when you back up to tape libraries.

Enter Exagrid, whose digital back-up systems will save your assets. This was a three-dimensional mailing, so the images might look a little wonky, but I'm confident you'll be able to get the gist. All designs by Nicole Dickinson.
