Perpetual Storage for Media Preservation & Archiving
Disk Archive Corporation is a specialist supplier of high-density offline data storage systems for Film & Television Preservation and Archiving.

Options for Data Tape and Optical Archive Replacement
At NAB 2026, Disk Archive will unveil S3 COLD support, enabling ALTO to act as a native S3 target for deep archive workflows. This opens the door to hybrid strategies where ALTO complements cloud or LTO systems, replicating content for redundancy or acting as a primary archive with cloud-based disaster recovery. ALTO also supports physical airgap configurations, making it a compelling option for cybersecurity strategies where a “copy of last resort” is essential.
Transitional Strategy and Hybrid Technologies
ALTO isn’t just a replacement – it’s a transitional platform. Organizations can operate legacy systems in parallel while gradually ingesting assets into ALTO. This hybrid approach supports 3-2-1 backup strategies, combining local, offsite, and air-gapped copies for maximum resilience.
