New collaboration offers companies a seamless transition from legacy tape storage to modern cloud archives
Tustin, Calif. – February 25, 2025 – Geyser Data, a leader in cloud-based Tape-as-a-Service archive solutions, and Insurgo, a specialist in tape management and secure data destruction, today announced a strategic partnership designed to help businesses modernize their archive storage while addressing the complexities of legacy tape management.
This partnership offers customers a dual advantage: Insurgo can now offer its clients a seamless migration path from traditional tape archives to Geyser Data's advanced cloud archive solutions, eliminating the burden of managing outdated tape libraries. At the same time, Geyser Data customers transitioning to cloud-based archiving can benefit from Insurgo's secure and compliant tape destruction services, ensuring the safe disposal of obsolete media.
"Many companies want to move away from the hassle of managing physical tape storage, but they still recognize the long-term value and cost savings of tape archives," said Nelson Nahum, CEO of Geyser Data. "By partnering with Insurgo, we provide businesses with a comprehensive solution—modernizing their archive strategy while ensuring responsible tape disposal."
The collaboration is a win-win for both companies and their customers. As Insurgo helps clients retire their legacy tape libraries, they can now offer a future-proof alternative through Geyser Data's innovative cloud-based archive solutions. Meanwhile, as Geyser Data brings new customers into its platform, Insurgo's expertise in secure tape destruction provides an essential service for organizations completing their digital transformation.
"This partnership directly addresses two major business challenges for organisations modernising their archives," said Ross Tweddle, business development manager at Insurgo.
"We're not just helping businesses move away from legacy systems—we're ensuring that transition is secure, cost-effective, and aligned with their long-term data retention strategies."
Companies looking to streamline their archive storage, eliminate the risks of aging tape media, and optimize costs can now leverage the combined expertise of Geyser Data and Insurgo.
