We understand how much of a headache it can be to resource tape-changing activities in your data centre or server room.

But we think we have the answer.

SWITCH is our mobile service, which combines the secure off-siting of your media with actually changing the back-up media in your servers or robotic libraries on your behalf.

Our team of mobile media operators are experienced in the secure exchange of media in virtually every type of commercially available tape drive or library unit.

This service is particularly useful if you operate a ‘dark-site’ or where it is more cost effective to employ an experienced and trusted 3rd party to undertake all tape handling activities.

The combination of DRS Secure Courier, Media Storage and SWITCH provides a total media handling solution and is available even in the most remote parts of the UK.

It’s cost-effective, it’s secure and it’s done with the utmost professionalism. Why not try it?

DRS is one of the UK’s leading off-site media & document storage companies. Founded in 1984, and family-run ever since, we offer a highly confidential, secure, bespoke service to a wide range of companies, from small businesses to major commercial enterprises, from the public to the private sectors.

We’re based in Greater Manchester, and six other depots cover the whole of the UK, from Scotland to Southern England. And we’re not standing still: we’ve got new depots planned, and major investment in technology and infrastructure is in the pipeline.

What will remain constant, however, is our dedication to ensuring you never need worry about the status of your media or documents. Whether it is the supply of media, storage and retrieval, secure transportation, document scanning or confidential destruction, your peace of mind is paramount.

As is the discretion with which we operate.

You’re in safe hands with DRS.
