Features

Spectra Logic products are changing the world of storage with these distinct features.

  • LTO-5 Tape Drives - When combining LTO-5 tape drives and media with Spectra T-Series libraries, you not only get the latest advances in storage capacity, throughput and power consumption, but you also realize the greatest storage density and energy efficiency available in tape storage.

  • Media Lifecycle Management - Spectra Logic's Media Lifecycle Management (MLM) provides you with integrated, proactive media management to keep your tapes — and data — protected.
  • Low Power Consumption - Spectra's tape libraries use significantly less power than competing disk and tape products. Additionally, our tape libraries include BlueScale EnergyAudit software to monitor exactly how much power is being consumed.
  • Encryption Spectra Logic offers the only truly integrated encryption option for data backed up to tape and other removable media: BlueScale™ Encryption.
  • Hardware Health Monitoring - BlueScale Hardware Health Monitoring (HHM) tracks key library components and notifies you when certain usage thresholds are met. These thresholds identify points at which the library logs and files should be reviewed by SpectraGuard Support to ensure the library is still functioning at optimal health.
  • Remote Camera Monitoring - Observe and monitor the interior of your Spectra Logic library remotely with the web-based BlueScale Vision camera. The BlueScale Vision interface provides a full color display with zoom, pan, and tilt functionality for quick and easy access to see your internal library environment.
  • TranScale Architecture - The TranScale architecture utilizes components that are interchangeable between our TranScale T-Series libraries, allowing you to seamlessly transform and scale (TranScale) your library as your organization grows.
  • Self Maintenance Assisted Self-Maintenance (ASM) is an industry-first support supplement that is designed for customers that require minimal downtime. ASM allows for a select group of parts to be stocked at the customer's site, in turn allowing the customer to make immediate repairs when needed, eliminating the delays that a site visit can involve.
  • SpectraGuard Support - SpectraGuard provides users with more comprehensive support options than any other secondary storage vendor today.
  • BlueScale Environment - BlueScale Environment is the software solution built into Spectra Logic products that enables the libraries and other backup products to work simply, flexibly, and safely with your data.
  • Management Tools Most Spectra libraries have a large and intuitive, color touch-screen interface. The same interface is also available remotely through the Remote Library Controller (RLC) that displays through any Web browser.
  • Shared Library Services (SLS) Spectra Logic libraries provide integrated Shared Library Services (SLS) that support partitioning. With SLS, each Spectra library looks to the outside backup environment like multiple libraries.
  • Connectivity - iSCSI & Fibre Channel Spectra Logic's Quad Interface Processor (QIP) technology provides affordable connectivity for your library with two flexible interface and networking options — Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet (iSCSI) connectivity.
  • Capacity on Demand (CoD) - Data growth is extremely hard to forecast. CoD makes it easy to instantly add capacity to your library, when you need it.
