University of Bristol has invested in a new tape-based storage system. The system’s BlueScale encryption provides 256-bit AES security for stored data. The team backs up around 125 TB a week from 450 to 500 servers. The next step will be to look at archiving not just the university’s day-to-day data, but the swelling store of research the institution’s academics and postgrads build up. There is serious talk of buying a second library — which sounds like pretty rapid progress for Bristol’s data managers.”]
