An archival file system that will keep your data protected forever is hard to find.
That’s why we’ve created MagnaStor.
Ten years ago, Chad started working on the technology behind MagnaStor. The company he worked for had many customers relying on an optical archiving file system called OWFS, but it only worked on write-once file media.
Jeff joined MagnaStor in 2005 with a vision to meet the needs of customers who wanted to migrate to a better type of storage.
“Optical replacement was the original vision we had of the product, so customers could get the benefits of the newest developments of magnetic storage, but keep the logistics of the write-once archiving and the durability.” — Jeff, MagnaStor Developer
Any company that has critical files and data to protect will benefit from our unique file storage system. Whether you are a healthcare facility with critical data, a government agency with classified files or need to keep permanent records indefinitely, MagnaStor is the safest data storage choice.
“In 2004, I did post-production work in England on a documentary about the making of The Libertine starring Johnny Depp. All of my project files from that documentary, like the source media, animations and graphics, are now precious memories to me.
After the filming ended, I put the files on a hard drive in an anti-static bag on a shelf. The problem is, even with no natural disasters, all digital storage formats still fail eventually and are susceptible to damage.
When I looked at the hard drive in the anti-static bag with my priceless footage, I would worry about it since I didn’t want to lose it. Then I realized the solution was MagnaStor.
Now all that footage is on a MagnaStor formatted drive in my office. I have peace of mind because MagnaStor is constantly checking the content of that drive. I don’t have to worry about it. I know that data is safe.”
