As new technologies emerge, they are often too expensive or untested for widespread adoption. Instead, businesses leave legacy systems in place until it becomes reasonable to perform a full system upgrade. Our media platform conversion specialization helps perform this upgrade, taking data from old storage media and converting it to the new system. Media Conversion is accomplished by creating a copy of data from one piece of media or another. Ordinarily, the process is a straight binary bit-for-bit imaging procedure, with the types of input or output being irrelevant.

If your company has the need to store old data records critical to its operation, then it's time for you to consider converting your older media using up-to-date platforms. SalvageData can show you how to migrate data from your older hardware and technology platforms to the more commonly used and efficient platforms of today.

Our data media conversion services encompass converting UNIX storage formats to Linux and Windows NT based file systems. SalvageData is leading the development of tape conversion and disk drive services and utilities that can convert UNIX archives into Linux or Windows NT formats. We invest heavily in ongoing research to ensure that we stay ahead of the curve in technological advancements.

SalvageData's services also include changing your data structure to accommodate different or new uses for your data. For example, this could include converting your data from EBCIDIC to ASCII. Transferring data between logical formats is known as Format Conversion. This enables the reading of data that is written on different platforms. For example, Format Conversion makes it possible to read a tape on a NT platform that was written as a UNIX TAR file.
