Tony Mendoza
Senior Director of IT
“I’ve worked at Spectra for more than two decades. Our IT department supports our worldwide employee base to enable them to go the extra mile for our customers. My team was tested in 2020 with a serious ransomware attack. We were able to completely recover and get our associates back up and running without losing any customer data. By sharing our story, I hope to help other organizations around the world overcome these kind of attacks as well.”
Betsy Doughty
VP of Corporate Marketing
“Spectra has been a second home to me for 16 years. Not only is the company constantly innovating and coming out with new products, we have the coolest customers doing truly groundbreaking work. I’ve been fortunate to work with our incredible channel and industry partners. Spectra has always taken a lead in alliances and collaborations and I’ve enjoyed being a part of leading that initiative. But, the people! The people at Spectra I get to work with everyday are inspiring and fun. They truly make this place a great place to work and a great company people want to do business with!”

Matt Ninesling
Director of Hardware Engineering
“I have been at Spectra for 21 years in operations, engineering, and product management roles. I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to work on technology that some of the largest data users in the world are using. Getting to know these customers and understand their needs has led to many new features being introduced into our products. We have a fun environment at Spectra. Any time we have a new software release, we give it a code name based on a ‘14er’ (a mountain higher than 14,000 feet). Luckily, there are 53 ‘14ers’ in Colorado, where we are headquartered. While the code names don’t make it past our corporate branding team, they bring some levity to our engineers.”

"When we set out on our search to find a storage solution capable of preserving Imperial War Museums’ substantial digital archive, there were specific criteria on which we were not willing to compromise.

– Ian Crawford, Chief Information Officer, Imperial War Museums
"We appreciate the collaborative relationship and Spectra’s attentiveness to incorporating our feedback and ideas into solution enhancements.

"The new library has just shy of 14,000 slots for tapes. We were able to easily move all 70 petabytes of existing data into the new system and have grown to 104 petabytes in size and have plenty of room for at least a year or two before we have to start thinking about expanding."
– HPC Linux Systems Engineer, OLCF
"We have to store a lot of data for long periods of time. A single microscope can capture 10TB of data in as little as a few hours, and a published breakthrough on cancer research can take anywhere from a few years to a couple of decades. The BlackPearl and tape solution from Spectra provides a scalable and cost-effective way to store multiple data workflows with varying retention requirements."
– Jeffrey McDonald, director of IT, Hormel Institute at University of Minnesota
