Spectra Logic has been focused on innovation in storage systems and solutions for 40 years. Spectra launched its first tape library in 1995, and since that time, has built the most rugged, reliable tape systems in the industry.
Tape Storage.
A tape drive is a data storage device which stores data on magnetic tapes. Magnetic tapes – tape media - are majorly uses as offline, archiving data and stored on shelves to store data for long life period. These tape media make data storage favorably less cost and have good stability for longer storage.
Though data being recorded is increasing at very fast year on year, to store this huge amount of data, tape media is being chosen for its long life and less cost per byte of cost of storage.
Tape storage is low cost, secure & safe, optimal for long term storage and high-capacity media are available now like LTO 9 which holds 18TB per tape cartridge.
The Most Powerful Small Tape Library
The Spectra® T50e Tape Library is a compact workhorse. Whether it’s configured as a 4U rackmount or tabletop, It won’t let you down. You can use 10 to 50 slots and store up to 600TB (1.5PB compressed) of data. Utilizing up to 4 LTO drives, you can transfer data at 5.18TB/hr (10.8TB/hr compressed).* High performance at an economical price.
