Tape Ark
Runner-Up
Mass Tape to Cloud Data Ingest Platform
Prior to the cloud, the world's historical collections of data and video were stored on tapes. Today, these collections of tapes are some of the richest and most sought after collections of data needed to fuel the continued growth in AI and ML systems around the world. Tape Ark has developed a mass tape ingest platform that moves multi-petabyte scale data volumes into the cloud so that these data sets can be both preserved, and used as the corpus of some of the most important data science projects ever undertaken. These projects include massive global warming studies, the preservation of holocaust survivor testimonials, as well as the analysis of the human genome. Tape Ark’s core focus is on the liberation of data from the past so that it can be used to make discoveries in the future.
