Affordable Storage Without Compromise

The Spectra T120 library is easy to use, manage, and maintain. Installation and configuration is quick and simple, and component redundancy ensures the highest of reliability. Highly flexible, the T120 allows you to start with the features you need now, and add features and capacity as your data grows and backup requirements change.

Simple Operation and Better Library Control

BlueScale, the common software interface for all Spectra libraries, brings enterprise command and control features to the T120: encryption, power monitoring, advanced media management and multiple library control. Available through the library's on-board LCD color touchscreen and remote web access, BlueScale is a easy-to-navigate, browser-based library interface built into Spectra Logic libraries that enables our solutions to work simply, flexibly, and safely with your data.

Highly Reliable

Reliability is ensured by the T120's component redundancy with optional N+1 power supplies and drive fail-over capabilities. The library monitors its critical subsystems and notifies the user and Spectra Logic if the library needs support. Hardware Health Monitoring (HHM) monitors your hardware and alerts you when a component needs attention before it fails. 

BlueScale Encryption

BlueScale Encryption is the only truly integrated encryption solution for data stored on tape. The T120 lets you seamlessly and affordably add encryption to your backup strategy with no changes to backup policies and no additional hardware or software. With AES-256 bit BlueScale Encryption and Key Management built into the T120, encrypting backed up data is secure, efficient, easy to manage—and free.

Media Lifecycle Management 

Spectra Logic helps you manage your tape media by giving you tools to proactively detect potential media errors well before they happen. Available only in Spectra Logic's T-Series libraries, Media Lifecycle Management records 30 data points every time a tape is loaded, giving you vital statistical and diagnostic information that helps you proactively manage your tape media throughout its life. By utilizing our Certified Media and BlueScale interface together, you can manage, track, and report all facets of tape usage from creation to retirement — all consolidated within the same application you use to manage your library.
