One program that Commercial Integrators rely on to meet the evolving landscape of the financial industry is cold storage. So, what is exactly is cold storage? It refers to physically maintaining a library of inactive data media (hard drives) for a specified period of time. This is performed in complete PCI compliance (Payment Card Data Services). 

Here’s how it works: Retired DVR units are sent to Renova containing hard drives. The hard drives are then removed from the DVR/NVR and stored (in library fashion) for a customer specified period of time. At the end of the storage period, hard drives are physically destroyed on-site and a certificate of destruction is provided.
