The new facility in San Diego measures almost 3,000 sq. ft. and is equipped with tape technology and equipment dating back 25 years to insure that CBL can meet the data recovery needs of tape users across the entire spectrum.

Tape remains to this data a prevalent method of data storage and back up for large organizations around the world, says Owens, director of CBLs San Diego lab.
