The article describes software developed at Rosneft Oil Company, which controls a complex of robotic tape libraries, that form part of the Seismic Data Storage Center's hardware and software, and the seismic data stored therein. The software operates within KBD Geobank-Seismorazvedka information system, which is designed to automate the Seismic Data Storage Center's operations and provide authorized access to seismic data for the specialists of Rosneft Oil Company. The software's structure, functionality, and purpose are described. The following software components are highlighted: file control, storage media control, storage system statistical data generation, and data integrity maintenance. In addition, the article provides a brief description of the structure and hardware of the KBD Geobank-Seismorazvedka information system. Particular attention is given to the storage architecture of information system, specifically a multi-tiered large-scale data storage system. The use of the developed tools enabled to optimize the work of information system administrators, to eliminate the need for a console on the application server for interactions with the system's technical devices and eliminating direct access to databases via query language. Future development of the information system includes plans to expand the use of the robotic tape library system to other types of information, develop automation tools, and enhance data integrity monitoring.
