A system includes a storage medium enterprise and a processing component. The storage medium enterprise includes a first storage medium configured to store data and a second storage medium configured to store data. The processing component external to the storage medium enterprise is configured to receive and process data received from the storage medium enterprise. The first storage medium is configured to transmit a first operational data associated with the first storage medium to the processing component and the second storage medium is configured to transmit a second operational data associated with the second storage medium to the processing component. The first operational data is formed into a block of a block chain prior to transmission to the processing medium and the second operational data is formed into another block of the block chain prior to transmission to the processing medium.
