It integrates with Spectra BlackPearl object storage to provide a cost-effective tape tier with Amazon S3 and S3 Glacier compatibility.
  • Cost-Effective & Efficient The Spectra Cube library supports a capacity-on-demand expansion model, allowing for software-enabled additional tape slots and performance scaling with additional tape drives, all without service interruptions. It boasts a high storage density and significantly lower environmental costs compared to disk or flash systems.
  • Enhanced Data Management & Security Managed by LumOS software, the Spectra Cube library provides secure local, remote or programmatic management via REST API. Spectra Certified Media ensures reliability and longevity of tape media, with active monitoring of tape health and usage, and data integrity verification checks to protect against data corruption or loss.

LumOS & TFinity Plus

  • Advanced Library Management LumOS is a next-generation operating system designed for enhanced management, monitoring, and control of Spectra tape libraries. It offers a modern architecture with 20X performance improvement, intuitive interface, multi-threaded operations and full REST API for automation.
