Fujifilm Partnering With SC-Integrity for Wireless Data Tape Tracker

To track in real-time the location and status of sensitive removable media cartridges while in transit

FUJIFILM Recording Media announced the immediate availability
of the Fujifilm Tape Tracker, a first-of-its-kind wireless tool to
help data managers increase security of data by tracking in real-time
the location and status of sensitive removable media cartridges while
in transit.

Fujifilm
is partnering with SC-Integrity (SCI), the worlds most comprehensive
covert cargo monitoring, recovery and loss prevention service to
provide real-time monitoring and notification for the Tape Tracker
using the Fujifind interactive web application.

Based in Bothell,
Wash., SCI entered into an agreement in 2006 with the LoJack
Corporation to add the power of the LoJack brand to SCI’s well-known
theft prevention, investigation, tracking and recovery solution for the
global cargo security market.  Fujifind is based on SCI’s powerful
LoJack InTransit software platform and provides simple management of
multiple Tape Trackers.

"The
tremendous feedback we received from customers when we introduced this
concept last year made clear – there is a significant desire to
maintain visibility and control over removable media during shipment
from one location to another
," said Daniel Greenberg, New Product
Manager, Marketing, Fujifilm Recording Media. "The ability of tape to
store large quantities of data in a cost effective, energy efficient,
removable format make it a preferred medium to backup and archive
critical business data. The Tape Tracker gives power back to the data
managers to maintain a chain of custody for these assets as they move
between data center backup, vault or disaster recovery destinations
."

The Fujifilm Tape Tracker (patents pending) is designed within a
half-inch tape cartridge format, enabling it to fit snugly and
discreetly inside nearly any tape media case. The Fujifind application
uses the information, tracking, geo-fencing and notification capability
of the LoJack InTransit monitoring solution that currently provide
corporations and government the ability to track and monitor high value
cargo, audit driver activities, and conduct surveillance operations to
ensure that their valuable assets are protected, worldwide.

LoJack
InTransit uses the largest Law Enforcement Protocol and Dispatch
Network in the cargo security business and the SCI Communications
Command Center can dispatch appropriate authorities direct to the data
tape location to ensure recovery, facilitate resolutions and prevent
future losses.

"Data
assets are well-protected in the data center and within a vault or
duplicate operations center – but there has been no way to maintain
continual chain of custody in real time. Now, with Tape Tracker
combined with the LoJack-InTransit, there is and effective solution,
"
said Robert Furtado, CEO, SC-Integrity. "If left unmonitored, back up,
disaster recovery and archive data assets can become the Achilles heel
to any business or an industry – particularly if the data is sensitive
."

Key features of the Fujifilm Tape Tracker system include:

  • Discreet tracking cartridges that resemble other tape media in transit
  • Fujifind
    web application for geo-mapping location with satellite imagery and
    online mapping created and supported directly by SCI
  • Geo fencing capability, perimeter entry/exit notifications, in transit route discrepancy alerts,
  • Evidentiary reporting for continuous incident resolution and security protocol improvements
  • User-defined activity and chain of custody history reports
  • 24/7 expert staffed monitoring center, service and support

 

The
Fujifilm Tape Tracker will be available through Fujifilm resellers in
the United States at an MSRP of $150 per month.
