Spectra Enterprise libraries provide you with a number of features and tools that ensure an effortless management experience. From remote interfaces, to custom XML application integration capabilities, and a single touchscreen interface, the T680 has been designed with the customer in mind.
BlueScale
BlueScale®, the common software interface for all Spectra tape libraries, brings intelligent command and control features to the T680 tape library. Available through the library’s on-board LCD color touchscreen and remote web access, BlueScale is an easy-to-navigate, browser-based library interface built into Spectra libraries that enables our solutions to work easily, flexibly and safely with your data.
A single BlueScale user interface manages an entire library without any external servers. BlueScale manages your library, configurations, partitions, encryption key management and all library/media health monitoring. By consolidating all management functions in a single library, you save time managing the library and lower costs by eliminating the need for additional equipment, software license charges or additional power or cooling requirements of extra server hardware.
