The Tape unit was meant to solve a huge computing dilemma: data backup and maintenance in different places. Moreover, the increase of data amount and the need of safety policies, more and more fault-tolerant, led the backup market, safety systems and electronic inventory to reinvent themselves in order to meet the market demand. Currently, the number of tape units exceed the number of hundreds of medium companies and thousands of corporations, which generate an extremely complex problem involving organization and safety.



Throughout the surveyed companies, Tape Units represent the greatest strategic asset in storage and information management. Many technologies have been adapted to meet this demand, but at a certain point, adjustments could no longer comprise the necessary procedures.


As well the bar code technology no longer meets the demands, mostly by failing to update data generated by each tape unit movement and recording.


In this sequence of events, the units quality and size began to play a major role in managing this type of asset with the identification, location and tracking authentication.


To effectively solve the problem at international level, IBM Brazil acquired a set of StoreID solutions that aims at resolving many logistical and security problems. They involve Identification Procedures, Location, Authentication and tracking systems of Tape units using radio identification technology.



The solution also assists external tracking systems to follow up real time of transportation boxes displacement in the external environment, mostly among vault rooms, clients, data centers and relationship with logistics operators.



The solution uses innovative technology in radio identification methodology, besides complex algorithms to make everything work so that identification procedures, location, authentication and tracking become transparent to system users, creating methodologies for content checking, labels geopositioning recording, collection requests checking, online and on time order processing and delivery and collection procedures, collection and delivery content checking, active monitoring of shelves in vault rooms of Tape drives, dynamic tracking, activity rules interpretation and use, commands and orders analysis, decentralized processing, cloud computing as support for data distribution and capacity to meet thousands of simultaneous requests and procedures and separate of both location and area for IBM global management.



StoreID, a Brazilian company that is part of Store Group, has developed technology, products, services, procedures, standards and software that can effectively solve and meet the demand, which is characterized as one of the most complex in terms of data physical security for information units storage, management and movement.

The result of this partnership means one of the most important world events in the usage of radio identification technology, because the model connects through a huge number of processes, technologies and procedures that altogether embody a solution that many considered impossible to achieve.
