Digitization of Legacy Data Carriers and Media
- N.º artículo: OYS111910
- Hersteller Name: OYSTEC
Target Organization:
Organizations that want to copy and digitize data or archives from historical (legacy) media in a modern format, but do not have access to appropriate legacy equipment by their own.
Details:
Many of the data carriers that were once common, such as floppy disks, are being used less and less. Cloud services and flash-based hard disks have made the use such older data mediums as CDs and floppy disks obsolete for some time now. However, in many cases backups were not made in the past, so that the data is no longer accessible for you. OYSTEC has the technical infrastructure to extract from these old data mediums and to transfer them to a data medium that is compatible with your current systems.
After having successfully extracted your data, we can provide you with (both your original data carriers and) the new copies in the digital form of your choice in a timely manner.
Our systems are able to read formats such as Blu-ray, DVD, CD-ROM, floppy disks (3.5", 5.25", 8"), memory cards (SD, CompactFlash, etc.), hard disks (SATA, IDE, SCSCI, ...) and tape drives. Under "Modules" you will find a detailed list of all formats.
