New Zealand’s top environmental research agency deployed a Spectra Logic archive to support next-gen forecasting. Here’s why Earth Sciences New Zealand selected Spectra TFinity tape libraries to safeguard petabytes of critical weather data.
Software platforms don’t mature by adding complexity. They mature by removing friction — especially in environments where data integrity, access control, and operational clarity are non-negotiable. That’s why Spectra Logic is proud to introduce MediaEngine 5.1, a new software release that reflects a meaningful evolution of Rio Media Suite: refining the platform so it scales by design, communicates clearly, and inspires confidence as environments grow.
This iteration of LumOS library management software offers proactive diagnostics and deeper insight — built directly into the library experience.
CERN’s Vladimir Bahyl shares how his team relies on tape technology to meet the immense challenge of storing an exabyte of experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider.
We at Spectra Logic are pleased to introduce the next great tape innovation — the 40 TB LTO-10 cartridge, delivering a 33% jump in capacity over the 30 TB cartridge announced earlier this year. This breakthrough cartridge will soon be fully supported in all Spectra libraries equipped with LTO-10 drives, including the Spectra® TFinity®, T950, Spectra Cube™, and Spectra Stack. The addition of 40 TB media enables customers to achieve higher density and efficiency while maximizing existing infrastructure investments — advancing the scalability and longevity of modern data preservation.
Managing data growth has become a high-stakes challenge for IT leaders. Every year, organizations are generating, analyzing, and retaining more data than ever before — driven by AI, video, IoT, and regulatory requirements.
Yet budgets aren’t keeping pace. The result is a growing imbalance: petabytes of information must be preserved securely, accessed efficiently, and stored cost-effectively for decades.
While often used interchangeably, backup and archiving serve distinct purposes. Understanding the differences between these two storage methodologies — and their unique use cases and benefits — is essential for ensuring effective, long-term data protection.
In today’s fast-paced media landscape, creative professionals are facing an unprecedented challenge that threatens to derail their most important work: storytelling. While technological advances like AI have made content creation and editing more accessible than ever, they’ve also created a complex web of media management issues that are silently crippling productivity and creativity across the industry.
