-The highest rated fire protection storage environment for media in the industry-
In a world where information is increasingly being stored in bits & bytes rather than pen and ink the need for a secure environment to store computer media has never been greater.
As part of Filestores commitment to offering the most modern facilities and services to our customers we are proud to announce the opening of Ireland’s first Firelock vault, the highest UL rated fire protection storage environment for media available in the industry,
The vault which was installed in our Dublin Park West Records Centre as part of a €2 million expansion was officially launched on the 19th September 2006 by Tom Parlon, Minister of State.
Capable of withstanding temperatures of 1000 degrees C, the Firelock vault now offers Filestores’ Irish customers unprecedented levels of security and fire protection for offsite computer media storage.
Firelock vaults are uniquely constructed from spun ceramic material capable of withstanding the highest temperatures. Used internationally by organisations such as the US Airforce and Disney, the precise environmental controls of Firelock can triple the longevity of media. The vault also includes protection against magnetic interference.
Digital and magnetic media requires precise levels of environmental control when stored. The Firelock vault now offers the highest fire protection available for offsite computer media storage and we are delighted to be the first Irish company to be able to offer this level of safety to our customers.
According to recent Firelock statistics, 71% of companies whose data processing facility is destroyed by fire or other disasters never recover form the loss or fail within three years. To successfully manage the modern world of risk means that vital information must be protected and accessible at a moment’s notice. Firelock vaults are specifically designed to protect digital and magnetic media by securing the vault chamber environment.
The Firelock vault can provide secure storage for other critical business information, such as film archives, health records and electronic research libraries.
