Digi-Data Corporation and Digi-Data Technologies Meet

COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digi-Data Corporation, an innovator and developer of storage solutions for mid-tier, secondary storage, and fixed content markets, offers the ideal storage solution for Digi-Data Technologies, a data management company specializing in archiving and digitization.

Digi-Data Technologies, through a joint venture with Oxford University and its Bodleain Library, is scanning the complete historic mapping archive of the UK dating from 1843 to 1956 and placing it on the web for the genealogy market. As a result, Digi-Data Technologies is creating a complete seamless mosaic of Great Britain. The company also provides services for the fossil fuel industry. With the help of the world’s largest flatbed scanner (3m x 2m), Digi-Data Technologies converts truckloads of paper data into easy-to-manipulate images, greatly improving the productivity of today’s geophysicist.

The processing and conversion of that data requires an enormous amount of storage. Digi-Data Technologies’ work on the UK’s national mapping archive alone consumes over 1 terabyte of storage per week.

This is where Digi-Data Corporation comes in. Digi-Data Corporation provides scalable, cost-effective, large scale storage solutions across various specialized applications. The products are designed to scale in performance, access, and availability proportionally to their capacity.

“We have discovered that Digi-Data Technologies and Digi-Data Corporation have more in common than just a name,” says Dan Oister, Digi-Data Corporation’s VP of marketing. “Our storage solutions help Digi-Data Tech’s customers to easily access and search data. With the power-nap feature, which spins-down unused disks, companies providing such information services can keep growing volumes of data online, yet avoid the energy costs associated with running traditional storage arrays.”

“Digi-Data Corporation can store our data, and grow with us as we expand,” explains Rod Adkins, CEO of Digi-Data Technologies. “We can take that data and make it functional and easy-to-use for our customers.”
