Media Recovery Re-labeling Services:

To implement DatacenterTrak, it will be necessary to convert your tape library to this new RFID label system. For your convenience, Media Recovery offers tape re-labeling services as part of our turnkey solutions.

When re-labeling a tape library, it is important to remember that there is only a single cartridge location permitted by international standards for a bar code data cartridge label. To help make sure the new label is in compliance with all international standards, we have designed a RFID inlay that integrates into the volser label so as not to interfere with your current automatic cartridge retrieval systems or data cartridge computer drives. Talk to your Media Recovery representative to learn more.

Utilizing dual-active asset tags to monitor and track mobile assets, in combination with passive tags, and hybrid application software that integrates easily into your existing tape management system and/or asset management systems, DatacenterTrak™ provides your Datacenter with the most comprehensive tracking technology available.
