American Eagle
Systems, Inc. (AES) has perfected the art of the tape library
audit. We have inventoried hundreds of millions of tapes in
the world's most active tape libraries. Our proprietary
methodologies, software and procedure enables us to quickly
and accurately account for all tapes within your data
processing environments. AES is an independent third party
who prides themselves on having the ability to provide you
with accurate and unbiased results. |
The
Procedure
American Eagle
System's teams of trained and experienced tape auditors capture
every tape at every location by use of handheld barcode
scanners. Each tape is scanned by an auditor and the tape
number logged into a database. Every tape is flagged with its
existing location, as well as the account/tape pool it belongs
to. The scanners and auditors are non-invasive, working
around your daily procedure, and typically finishing most
audits within a single day.
Our teams
travel to each tape storage location to be sure we account for
all your media. This would include Datacenters, Hot Sites,
offsite storage facilities or other locations. We want to make
sure you know where all your tapes are located. AES is also
able to scan inside silos, ATLs, robotic units, containerized
storage, Gem tracks and any other place your tapes may reside.
Once you are
satisfied that all your tapes have been accounted for, AES
will compare our scan results to the listing of tapes you
provided us for each account and/or location.
The Results
The results of
an audit include detailed reports indicating the status of
every tape in (and out of) the library. After AES conducts an
accurate and orderly inventory of your tapes, we are able to
provide you listings of:
- Tapes not
found (missing tapes)
- Tapes
found where expected (including silo/robotics tapes)
- Tapes
found that you weren't aware of
- Vault
tapes found in the tape library
-
Expired tapes found in the vault
- Mis-filed
tapes (within the library)
-
Exceptions (outcoded tapes found in the library)
