Spectra T380 Overview

The Spectra T380 provides unmatched flexibility in a 28U form factor – from a growth path within the library or to a bigger library to continuous, innovative software and hardware enhancements to the ability to work with many backup and archive applications, including Spectra’s BlackPearl—this library is built for the long haul. This library also integrates major media types—LTO or TS1160 technology—allowing you to choose the right technology for your needs.

Need more storage? Want to upgrade to the newest version of LTO or IBM’s TS technology? Changing backup applications? Building a private cloud? The T380 library has you covered.

Flexible, Efficient storage without compromise.

Roving TeraPack Architecture
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 10 LTO slots (9 enterprise slots) in a single container. When paired with the T950’s transporter, the T950’s TeraPack is not just a storage container, but a vehicle for transporting 180TB of LTO data (180TB of TS1190 data) to drives, storage shelves, import, and export in a single robotic movement, reducing the time required handling media by 90 percent.

"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. Spectra met all of our requirements and then some, and now continues to deliver with StorCycle’s storage lifecycle management capabilities."

"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."

"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."
