Company Overview

Disk Archive Corporation Ltd. (www.diskarchive.com) develops high capacity, high availability solutions for long-term, large-volume, completely tapeless storage of Media files. DACs ALTO archive storage systems use leading-edge disk drive technology to offer performance and economic benefits over Data Tape Libraries, allowing media companies to accommodate new strategies for data protection and complete the transition to fully tapeless operation. ALTO is optimized for longevity, security and performance, with a very low total cost of ownership and low environmental impact. Compared to conventional archive systems, ALTO is easier to own and more affordable to operate. Established in 2009, Disk Archive Corporation is a privately owned company drawing on more than 15 years experience designing, delivering and supporting Media Storage, Media Asset Management and Archive Management solutions.

With the growing need to store more content in a more accessible way, Broadcasters and Media companies are looking for higher density and lower cost agile storage solutions. Enterprises have already largely moved their transactional data from tape archives to cloud-based disk storage, but the special requirements for Media storage defeat the economics of typical cloud solutions. At CABSAT we will be present new technologies and solutions to increase storage density, reduce cost and harness the power of the cloud in a smarter way to deliver tangible business benefits and superior performance Marina Eiserle, Business Development Director, Disk Archive Corporation
