Some documents need protection from temperature and humidity changes. As a general rule, paper begins to deteriorate at 350° Fahrenheit with humidity greater than 65%, while the limits for electronic media, microfilm and photographs are 150° Fahrenheit and 85% humidity.
Business Records Management offers two levels of climate controlled offsite storage.
Climate Controlled Storage
The following types of documents are generally stored in one of Business Records Management’s secure climate controlled areas: Blueprints, x-rays, microfilm, software, artwork, archives, historical and critical files.
Climate controlled storage areas are designed to store boxes and all sizes of cabinets. Backup servers and other computer equipment for our Disaster Recovery Center are also stored in this area.
Business Records Management’s climate-controlled storage areas are equipped with a Temperature/Humidity Control System (THCS) that prevents the yellowing of paper. These areas can also be equipped with a sprinkler system or a comprehensive smoke detection system. All fire protection systems are monitored 24 hours, every day, by a third party security provider.
Vault Storage
All critical backup tapes are stored in one of our highly controlled and secure vaults. These vaults are Four-Hour fire rated, equipped with the TCHS system that rigidly maintains the environment to industry standards for plastic media, are protected with Halon fire suppression systems, and are equipped with static-free flooring to further protect your items.
