Federal & Defense Agencies

Secure Your Data

Stay Mission-Ready

Protect intelligence at any scale, from data center to tactical edge

Why Federal Agencies Choose Spectra

Spectra Logic enables mission success with secure, scalable data infrastructure purpose-built for federal environments. Agencies unify flash, disk, tape, and cloud to protect critical data from cyber threats, provide predictable performance, balance costs, and comply with long-term retention mandates.

Rising Pressure on Federal Data Infrastructure

Accelerating Data Growth

Artificial intelligence (AI), mission expansion, and federal compliance are driving unprecedented data growth, requiring agencies to store greater data volumes for longer.

Evolving Cyber Threats

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) with lengthy dwell times place mission-critical data at risk. As cyber adversaries become more sophisticated, agencies must ensure data is protected, immutable, and recoverable.

Rising Infrastructure Costs

Rising disk and flash prices are straining budgets. Federal organizations must align storage resources with mission needs, performance, and data value.

Long-Term Data Compliance

Preservation mandates require agencies to store data from years to decades, placing sustained pressure on costs and primary storage infrastructure.

How Spectra Supports Federal Agencies

Trusted Preservation

Confidently protect mission-critical data, on-premises and hybrid cloud. Redundant, verifiable copies ensure data integrity and recoverability, even decades after it's written.

Air Gap Protection

Defend against cyber threats with physical isolation. Tape is an offline medium, making it impervious to electronic incursions.

Resource Efficiency

Offload cold data via Amazon S3 and S3 Glacier-compatible API — and reclaim primary storage for performance workloads. Move inactive cold data to low-cost, low-power secondary storage on tape.

Cloud Compatible

Seamlessly integrate object-based tape into existing infrastructure with Amazon S3 compatible and S3 Glacier-compatible interoperability, extending hybrid-cloud workflows without disruption.

Terabytes to Exabytes

Scale from edge to exascale deployments. Attain unmatched scalability in a small, dense physical footprint, enabling agencies to reliably safeguard terabytes to exabytes at a fraction of the cost.

Comprehensive Encryption

Protect sensitive data with integrated encryption across every storage tier, including native support for self-encrypting drives (SEDs).

Our Customers

For over 45 years, federal organizations have trusted Spectra to safeguard the nation’s most valuable data.

“LANL’s high-performance computing resources depend on an available and performant archival system. LANL uses the Spectra TFinity system for long-term archival of data and Spectra has assisted LANL in migration of data to new TFinity tape libraries.”
