Hybrid Cloud Storage

Hybrid Cloud Storage

Safe, secure and scalable storage for the enterprise

Overview

The term ‘hybrid cloud’ is used to describe an ecosystem that incorporates a combination of on-premises networking, computing and storage with deployment across one or more clouds for expanded application, compute and storage capabilities. Hybrid computing provides flexibility, scalability and efficiency as organizations often benefit from the best aspects of on-premises operations as well as cloud services.

Key Considerations

  • How much flexibility, scalability and agility does your organization require to achieve its business objectives?
  • Are there tools in place to manage the complexities of on-premises and cloud computing and storage?
  • Are there compliance and retention directives that might impact how, where, and for what length of time data should be stored?

The Solution

Spectra is uniquely positioned to support hybrid cloud architectures with its broad range of reliable, scalable and high-capacity data management and storage solutions. Spectra’s BlackPearl Platform delivers a family of multi-purpose, hybrid cloud storage solutions that can be configured in a number of ways, including as an S3 target, enabling massive amounts of data to be stored in the cloud or on-premises. In fact, BlackPearl opens numerous possibilities with its seamless integration to disk, tape, object storage and cloud.

Spectra’s Vail Distributed Multi-Cloud Data Management Software offers synchronization of data across multi-cloud and multi-site data repositories through a single global namespace. Data accessibility is independent of data’s physical location – meaning vendor lock-in is eliminated and data egress is optimized for the lowest cost and fastest access to data, lowering cloud cost and maximizing efficiencies. Users can leverage local storage and cloud services through seamless hybrid workflows.

For storing massive amounts of data long-term, customers look to Spectra’s tape library selection. Trusted for decades by many of the world’s most recognized organizations, Spectra tape libraries protect much of the world’s data because it offers the industry’s best combination of capacity, performance, scalability, reliability, affordability and support.

Key Benefits

  • Fast, scalable, high-capacity data protection from a single vendor
  • Superior reliability
  • Disaster recovery
  • Air gap for ransomware resilience
  • Long-term data retention for future use
  • Excellent customer and product support for hybrid cloud environments
"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." – HPC Linux Systems Engineer, OLCF
"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." – Jeffrey McDonald, director of IT, Hormel Institute at University of Minnesota
