Bureau: Media Conversion

What is Media conversion?

Media conversion is the term used for copying data from one type of tape to another without changing the data. System migration, data migration, data transfer, tape interchange and system upgrade are other common terms used to describe this process.
In other words the data is duplicated onto a different capacity tape or a tape for a different drive altogether. For instance you may have AS400 data on a 3490E that you want to send to someone who only has an AS400 with a 3480 drive - in this case you need media conversion.

Some Examples of Media Conversion Jobs:

Duplicating a software suppliers' latest software releases on AS400 onto different tapes for customers who are not using the same tape drive as the software house
Duplicating a DSS4 tape onto DDS1 tapes
Duplicating ICL open reel to ICL 3480
Duplicating sets of master tapes to create backup copies

The Bureau carries out many media conversion jobs for a variety of customers. We carry out all work quickly, efficiently and conscientiously and our pricing is very competitive If you have a data transfer, system migration or tape duplication requirement, contact us first.
