New technology, familiar service, convenient access
![Picture of the tape library](https://blog.rwth-aachen.de/itc/files/2021/11/DigitalArchiv-300x200.jpg)
The tape library is the home of the previously archived data. In the future, archiving will take place on S3 object storage.

December 08, 2021 is an important deadline for all users of the archive and all those who would like to archive data from administration, teaching and university operations in the future.
The contents of the current archive will be migrated to an object storage infrastructure beginning in December. We have already reported on the archive migration and will continue to keep you updated. The archive will therefore inevitably be set to “Read Only” from 08.12.2021. However, you can continue to use the archiving service, because the start of the new DigitalArchive will coincide with this date.

As already mentioned in our post on Bye-Bye TIM TIM has already been taken offline on 24.07.2020.
For many years, our Tivoli Identity Management System (TIM) was a faithful and constant companion in the everyday life of RWTH. We enter the famous, RWTH-wide known identifier with two letters and six digits several times a day into the various systems and pages of the RWTH. But don’t worry, the user name remains, only TIM no longer exists.
