Highest Density
When data center real-estate counts, Spectra Logic libraries offer you unsurpassed storage density and minimal footprint through a unique and highly efficient design. Instead of using traditional tape slots, Spectra uses innovative “shelves” and TeraPack® containers to store tape cartridges. This approach gives Spectra’s enterprise libraries industry-best density, allowing you to store up to nearly 3 times the information per data center floor tile as the competition.
Library Lifecycle Management
Spectra libraries ensure their health through BlueScale Library Lifecycle Management (LLM). With LLM’s automated monitoring and tracking of hardware components over their lifetime, administrators can easily identify if components may be failing, well before errors occur. Library Lifecycle Management (LLM) tracks component-specific thresholds that, when met, automatically alert administrators via email.
