HPSS and TSeries Libraries are a Superior Combination for Very Large Data Stores

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., ARMY DOIM—August 23, 2005—Supercomputing organizations with petabytes of data seek ways to aggregate enormous amounts of information.

Over its life cycle, data may need to be moved multiple times between disk arrays and automated tape libraries, and often multiple copies are needed for the most mission-critical data. To aid this market need, Spectra Logic’s TSeriestape libraries have been certified as compatible with IBM High Performance Storage System (HPSS).
