Vital Media Security Completes New Half a Million Tape Media Vaulting Facility

PRLog - Jul 02, 2013 - DALLAS -- Vital Media Security, Inc. announced Monday the completion of its new Media Vault. After being at its Carrollton location for over 20 years, Vital Media’s President, Jerry L. Judkins, Jr., said the company was in need of an upgraded facility.  

“When we did the cost analysis in renovating our current facility or buying a new one, there wasn’t much difference in starting from scratch,” said Judkins.  “After a 12-month search for the right facility and visiting a countless number of sites, we finally decided on a fortified communications facility that was not currently being used.”

Vital Media spent more than six months adding customized features to the facility, including a raised floor in the media vault area, a bulletproof glass reception area, and a heavily secured mantrap area.

“Our goal at Vital Media Security is to ensure our clients feel confident in the safe storage of their critical data assets,” Judkins said. “We wanted to make sure we added features to our new property that exceeds the needs of our clients.”

In addition to significant planning and accounting for assets, the Vital Media Security team sought advice and guidance from many of its clients, including defense contractors, banks, and government officials, to ensure the seamlessness of the move. For security reasons, no one other than the Vital Media Security staff was aware of the date and time of the move.

The Vital Media Security staff executed the move the weekend of April 19, using TapeTrack software to separately—and carefully—move, track and re-slot client tapes. Continuing to handle 24/7 on-demand client requests within the company’s contractual promise of a 90-minute time frame meant the staff was tasked with knowing where each client’s media was located at any given time, and several emergency deliveries were made successfully during the move. Scheduled services during the weekend were also completed, and regular business resumed the following Monday.

“The Vital Media team worked diligently on behalf of our clients to deliver the premier services our company guarantees, and as a result, we were able to successfully and safely move all data and media within a 48-hour period to our new facility,” said Judkins. “We are excited about serving our clients from our new location, and we appreciate their continued trust and confidence in our services.”

Additional facility features include: physically hardened building with a solid, 12-inch reinforced concrete ceiling, walls and floors; multiple levels of security with controlled vault access; Central Station Monitored alarm system; CCTV; Media Only Facility; sole occupant of free standing building; No localized risks or under any known flight paths; Redundant Climate Control Systems; Independent environmental alert monitoring and reporting; Sticky floor mats to eliminate dirt entering the vault; VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) and Halon fire Protection; backup 250KW Spectrum Generator capable of running for extended periods of time; and Redundant Communications systems.

Judkins also reported that Vital Media purchased additional modular racking systems from Invictus Storage Solutions, which is a leading international specialist contractor renowned for archive storage and fire protection systems, becoming the company’s largest site in North America.  

“When fully installed, the Media Vault will have the capacity to store over a half a million tapes,” Judkins confirmed. “Deciding to move forward with the Invicta Mobile Storage system gives Vital Media the best footprint for storage without impacting the work that multiple team members need to do within the Media Vault.”
