![]() ![]() While these features are needed for certain customers, the general IT and M&E applications have different needs. It supports features used in HPC such as BulkTAP access port and remote camera monitoring. Spectra T950 Tape Library is the go to Tape Library form medium-capacity applications. And customers are eligible for MigrationPass that allows them to consolidate other storage tape library applications, drives and tape cartridges into the Spectra Stack. Spectra Stack can be integrated with BlackPearl. The Spectra Stack leverages BlueVision software that includes an intuitive color touchscreen, remote web interface, ability to create Shared Library Services (SLS) partitions (up to 20), built-in diagnostics, media lifecycle management, encryption, and encryption key management. New technology can be integrated in to help protect investments. The Spectra Stack takes this into account as well and supports several generation of LTO tape drives (LTO-5, 6, 7 and 8) and LTO media (LTO-3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and LTO-7 Type M). Companies that leverage tape tend to have older generation drives. Not only does the Spectra Stack offer tape flexibility (from 1 tape drive to 560) is also supports both full-height and half-height drives. The Spectra Stack has a quoted transfer rate of 45TB/hour (105TB/hour compressed). This can bring a total capacity of 6.7PB (16.75PB with compression) in a single 42U space. Users can start with a singe tape drive and scale up to a maximum of 560 LTO tapes, adding 10 slots at a time or 80/6U. The Spectra Stack is a 6U module with 10 LTO tape slots. Spectra Logic’s answer to this is the new Spectra Stack. As data grows, backup and archive data grows right along with it and needs to be stored in a cost-effective manner. When it comes to maximum capacity for a good price, nobody can beat tape storage. Spectra will also be offering RoCE 10Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with its IBM TS1155 tape drives for Ethernet tape library integration in Spectra’s T380, T950, T950v and TFinity ExaScale Tape Libraries. These new solutions include a highly scalable, modular and affordable tape library that enables users to start with a single drive and scale up as needed, the Spectra Stack, and a more cost-effective, entry-level version of the company’s T950 Tape Library, the Spectra T950v Tape Library. If you are the particularly paranoid type and do not want anonymous on site engineers messing with your backup tapes, we think Spectra's ASM is a huge selling point.Today Spectra Logic introduced two new tape library products, expanding its existing family of automated tape storage solutions. The really refreshing part and why Spectra is held in such a high esteem by many of our customers, is their ‘Assisted Self Maintenance’ packages, essentially spare parts which are shipped to the customer, which they can replace themselves – without the need to involve an onsite engineer. ![]() Proactive support cases are raised if a problem is detected when devices ‘phone home’. ![]() In addition to constantly churning out innovative products such as Black Pearl and Arctic Blue, we find Spectra's support incredibly good. A new addition to the Spectra Logic family is the disk based Arctic Blue solution, for those that need higher access rates than a tape backed system, but we think the ultimate solution will be a ‘triple play’ of Black Pearl as the S3 gateway, data then sent in parallel to both disk based Arctic Blue and one of Spectras formidable LTO tape library solutions. We’ve been very quick to take up on the movement to more application accessible object storage, which deliver many benefits over traditional SAN storage when it comes to data in the higher tiers such as archive and legacy. We were extremely pleased to have the folks from Spectra Logic at our event at the Tower Of London last year, they made a really good case on the future of archive storage and introduced their new S3 compatible Object Storage Gateway – Black Pearl.
