Archive and backup storage service (ArcTape)
Protected storage of any data based on a hybrid (disk-tape) cluster
A combination of disks and tape is the optimal solution for the reliable storage of any volume of data. From a financial perspective, the requirements for data storage and the selection of the correct proportion of storage are important.
Cost = Tape archive + Disk cache + Access channel*
The cost of the tape archive (including the standard disk cache)
| Name | Price, per TB |
|---|---|
| Archive up to 5,2 TB (from 1 to 4 cartridges LTO-5) | 769 RUB/month |
| Archive up to 50 TB (from 1 to 9 cartridges LTO-7) | 769 RUB/month |
| Archive up to 100 TB (from 10 to 19 cartridges LTO-7) | 717 RUB/month |
| Archive up to 250 TB (from 20 to 48 cartridges LTO-7) | 665 RUB/month |
| Archive up to 500 TB (from 49 to 96 cartridges LTO-7) | 614 RUB/month |
| Archive up to 1000 TB (from 97 to 196 cartridges LTO-7) | 563 RUB/month |
| Archive more than 1000 TB (from 197 and more cartridges LTO-7) | 512 RUB/month |
* The cost of the access channel depends on the connection point, the method of connection, bandwidth, etc.
Multi-level storage for maximum efficiency
Advantages of tape storage
- Reliability (99.945% according to NERCS data)
- Durability (more than 30 years)
- Economic efficiency
- The last line of defense against hacker attacks
The data storage period is an order of magnitude higher than the disk drives
Data retention on disks is 3-4 years
Data retention on LTO and IBM 3592 tapes is more than 30 years
Reasons for reliability
- Tape cartridges do not have permanently rotating parts
- They do not have electronic components and controllers
- They are resistant to impact loads, because they are free of fragile parts and microelectronics
- They do not heat up
- Even with torn and sintered tapes, you can still remove the data!
Reliability (BER, Bit Error Rates)
Prevalence
82% of data centers in the world use tape (according to Oracle)
Tape libraries in the Google data center
Tape libraries in the 3data data center
