Tape Ark is a privately owned company headquartered in Australia. Founded in 2017, it employs approximately 20 individuals and reported $2.9M in revenue as of 2023. The company specializes in broadcast professional services, with a core focus on migrating data to the cloud.
On April 30, 2026, a German film studio unlocked 40 terabytes of dormant footage for active monetization, leveraging a migration layer to integrate with the AI data economy. Previously, on April 20, Tape Ark's North American partner, In Balance IT, secured a multi-year contract with a healthcare organization in Chicago, USA, to deliver a large-scale tape liberation project designed to access decades of critical legacy data. This follows Tape Ark's strategic partnership announcement with Versos AI on April 14, where they unveiled a new pipeline to convert legacy tape archives into structured, searchable data. This collaboration aims to unlock video stored on physical tape as a source for AI training systems.
Tape Ark's customers primarily consist of museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos companies. Examples of Tape Ark's customers include Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and TGS.
