Enterprise Tape

Enterprise tape provides reliable, long‑term storage for large volumes of data, enabling organisations to protect critical information and meet retention requirements with confidence.

Simplify long-term data archiving and protection with ET Works enterprise tape solutions

Enterprise tape provides a dependable, cost‑effective solution for long‑term data storage and archiving. It’s designed for organisations that need to securely retain large volumes of data efficiently over extended periods.

Enterprise tape addresses key challenges in managing and preserving business-critical data:

  • Archive large data sets to meet compliance, legal and operational requirements without impacting active storage performance.
  • Lower long‑term storage costs through high‑capacity tape media with minimal power and cooling overhead.
  • Protect critical data using secure, offline storage that is resilient to cyber threats and supports disaster recovery planning.

“ET Works have been one of the best partners and resellers I have personally dealt with. They clearly demonstrate a commitment to building a long-term sustainable relationship with their customers.”

Timon Watson. End User Computing Team Lead, Robert Gordon University Aberdeen

Hybrid cloud services that adapt to you

Hybrid cloud combines public and private infrastructure, giving you the flexibility to run workloads where they perform best. At ET Works, we design and implement hybrid cloud environments that are secure, practical and aligned to your operational needs, without unnecessary complexity or vendor lock‑in.

What you get

  • Flexible workload placement across public and private environments to balance performance, compliance and cost.
  • Improved resilience and uptime through distributed infrastructure and built‑in disaster recovery capabilities.
  • Better cost control by using scalable public cloud for variable demand and private cloud for predictable workloads.
  • Secure data management with the ability to keep sensitive workloads in private environments or specific geographic regions.
  • Future‑ready infrastructure that evolves with your business and supports long‑term growth planning.

Optimise performance with a hybrid-multi cloud strategy

Adopting a hybrid-multi cloud strategy allows organisations to take advantage of multiple cloud environments – public, private, and on-premises – based on the specific needs of each workload. This approach supports smarter infrastructure decisions, improves operational resilience, and enables long-term scalability without locking into a single provider.

  • Flexibility: Select the right cloud environment for each workload, balancing performance, compliance and cost as business needs change.
  • Scalability: Scale resources up or down quickly without overinvesting in physical infrastructure.
  • Cost optimisation: Use the most cost‑effective public and private cloud services for each workload to control spend.
  • Disaster recovery: Improve resilience with workloads distributed across environments, reducing downtime and data loss.
  • Data sovereignty: Maintain control over where sensitive data resides to meet regulatory and compliance requirements.
