Archiving use cases across industries
See how organizations leverage RWS infrastructure for long-term data retention and compliance.
Financial Services Archives
Banks and financial institutions archive transaction records, trading data, and customer communications for regulatory compliance. One investment firm stores 15+ years of trade data (200TB+) while meeting SEC Rule 17a-4 and FINRA retention requirements. Retrieval times under 5 minutes for audit requests.
Healthcare & Medical Imaging
Hospitals and imaging centers archive DICOM medical images, patient records, and clinical data for decades. A health system stores 500TB+ of imaging studies with HIPAA-compliant encryption, achieving 40% cost savings vs. specialized PACS archive solutions while maintaining sub-second retrieval for active cases.
Media & Entertainment
Broadcasters, studios, and production companies archive raw footage, finished content, and project files for re-licensing and future edits. A media company migrated 2PB+ of legacy tape archives to RWS, reducing retrieval time from days to minutes and cutting archive costs by 35%.
