Revolutionizing Seismic Data Storage for ONHYM

ONHYM, a prominent Moroccan oil survey company, needed to upgrade their outdated static racks to efficiently store seismic data on DAT tapes. OfficeSTOR provided a bespoke mobile shelving solution that doubled the storage capacity in a secure vaulted room, significantly enhancing the company's data management capabilities.

Client's Brief

ONHYM required a modern storage solution to replace their old-fashioned static racks. The new system needed to maximize space, doubling the storage capacity within a vaulted room equipped with a gas-suppression system. Additionally, the storage had to accommodate IBM 3592 tapes in a single library format, ensuring easy access and future expandability.

The OfficeSTOR Solution

OfficeSTOR delivered a tailor-made mobile shelving system that perfectly met ONHYM's requirements:

• Bespoke Design: The shelving was designed to fit 48 DAT tapes (125 x 1000 x 25mm) per inclined shelf, effectively doubling the capacity of the existing shelving.
• Maximized Storage: The system was implemented in the vault at ONHYM's Rabat campus, allowing for future expansions and ensuring a long-term storage solution.
• Comprehensive Service: OfficeSTOR provided a one-stop-shop solution, including design, survey, shipping, and installation, ensuring a seamless transition from old to new storage systems.

Results

The new mobile shelving system dramatically increased storage capacity, accommodating approximately 30,000 tapes. This upgrade not only doubled the previous capacity but also helped ONHYM reorganize their seismic data efficiently. The future-proof layout ensures that additional storage can be easily integrated as the company grows.
