Partition Support
Support up to two applications at the same time with the T50e partitions. For example, you can support a backup application and a media asset manager. Or you can have one partition with current media, such as LTO-7, and an older partition with legacy LTO. The T50e can support up to four partitions if it has four drives installed. The options are endless.

Scalability with Spectra
If an organization does eventually move beyond the capacity of a T50e library, note that Spectra makes it possible to scale up to the next model with minimal disruption while letting the customer retain the value of the T50e library. Further, all Spectra Libraries are managed with a common software interface and operating system greatly reducing time otherwise required to learn the use and management of a new library.
