Spectra Cube Library
Superior versatility & ease-of-use in a cloud-optimized library for on-prem, hybrid cloud and IaaS environments
Designed for clouds, optimized for ease of use
The first enterprise library designed specifically for clouds, Spectra Cube libraries are easy to deploy, simple to manage, scale on demand without disruption, and can be serviced in minutes without tools, downtime or specialized skills. Modern backup and archive applications using Amazon S3 or S3 Glacier object formats integrate seamlessly to create highly cost-effective on-prem or hybrid cloud tiers of object-based tape. It’s also an ideal platform for delivery of storage services by managed service providers or cloud service providers.
