5. One master in separate location
Content Preservation 3 2 1
Three Master Copies
Two Different Formats
One master in separate location
Valuable and historical media and data needs to be protected and method is there to do that. Using ODA as a second and final source in your archive just makes sense.
Archival disc is not magnetic based, with no contact and wear, plus the media is designed to last 100 years so its ideal as the 2nd, 3rd format or even Master backup medium.
Added hsm/object store as separate item as this is the intelligence in the workflow

6. What’s your long term strategy?
Hard drives have 50% chance of failure in year 1 or 3 and an 80% chance in year 4 or 5.
Tape could have a life of 30 years if stored in the correct environment, however with LTO tape you must change format every 3 years anyway.
Optical disk has a life of 100 years with full backward compatibility. Only write once!

7. A secure and reliable storage solution with benefits.

8. Technology Benefits Robust Media Cartridge

20. Sports Archive LTO and ODA hybrid operation managed by FrontPorch
Gradual migration from LTO to ODA
Started operations from March 2014
Expanding from April 2015
“The archive is in active use because projects, such as an upcoming three-part series on Arnold Palmer, make use of material shot decades ago. As we looked to reinvent our archive, we wanted something that we could access very quickly and on a regular basis.”

IRIDeS (founded by Tohoku University) is working on a project to collect all kinds of records, precedents, knowledge, and findings of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Disaster.
“How to preserve huge amount of data was a big issue. Those datas would have no meaning unless it can be accessed 100 years later or even 500 years, as we never know when the next big disaster will come”
“We have decided to use Optical Disc Archive because it the most long lasting type of media with less risk of deterioration. And no need to care about special storage condition”

24. Medical Qstar Technologies – QSTAR ASM Storage Management Solution
Sony Optical Disc Archive is ideal for PACS solution which requires longevity and security for patient’s personal data and the ease-of-use is particularly important as the operators of storage media in hospitals are normally not specialists who handle IT equipment…

25. Corporate
“We needed to have some kind of record of what we’ve been doing but also we needed access to the archive so that we quickly can pick and choose clips from previous productions. We felt that the Sony Optical Disc Archive solution was more elegant [than data tape solutions] in its ability to access and retrieve content.”

26. National Film Board of Canada
“After a long process, and considering many different technologies, the NFB partnered with ASG-Digital Archive, who works with the Sony Optical Disk Array, to complete their archiving infrastructure. It offers a secure media, which is very different from magnetic tape, and with a life expectancy of 50 years.”
