The enterprise Spectra T950 library automates tape and mobile RXT Sabre RAID in a single enclosure, and combines backup and encryption into a single step. For data backup and recovery, this elite library leads the field in cost-effective innovation-from the greatest storage density to the first true integration of disk in an automated library. With its low cost of ownership, it's also the best deal for your data center. The Spectra T950 library is:
- Easy to use, manage and maintain-lowering management costs.
- High in security, with encryption, varying levels of user security, high reliability, support for WORM, redundant components, mixed media in one enclosure (including LTO, SAIT, SDLT, and RXT SabreDrive disk), and guaranteed support-reducing risk.
- A library you can expand as you need, in any way you need-in performance, capacity, media, and connectivity-protecting your investment.
T950 Snapshot
- Minimum configuration has as few as 100 tape slots and two drives
- Scale up to as many as 7450 slots, depending on the number of drives
- Scale up to as many as 120 drives, depending on the number of slots
- Cascades up to six frames with single robotic mechanism, which increases reliability and lowers cost
- Mixed media, within a single enclosure, of any combination of LTO, SAIT, and SDLT tape technologies, and mobile RXT SabreMedia disk
- Add SabreMedia disk with a choice of capacity and RAID levels to suit your data backup requirements
- Controller-based (QIP) connectivity, supporting Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet with iSCSI
- Hot swap components, including drives and controllers
- A wide array of additional features available in the Spectra T950 library's BlueScale software environment
TECHNICAL FEATURES
The Spectra T950 library's BlueScale environment is the library's core intelligence. BlueScale technology is the results of a decade's work in data protection with tape and disk libraries. This intelligence provides the features that make up the Spectra T950 library, as well as its ability to support new technologies as they evolve. The BlueScale environment supports:
- Integrated BlueScale Encryption that supplies hardware-based encryption and total key management, with no external hardware or software
- Partitioning through Shared Library Services (SLS) without external hardware or software
- Capacity on Demand (CoD), which lets you add capacity as you need it and when you need it, simply by logging onto the Spectra Logic Web site and requesting a key that you use to enable new slots
- Hot-swap drives and controllers; redundant components; high-density modular design
- Guaranteed on-time support, including an Assisted self-maintenance (ASM) option and AutoSupport
- WORM-compatible media, with LTO, SAIT, SDLT, and RXT disk
- Supports integrated removable RXT Sabre RAID
- Observatory, Remote Library Controller (RLC), and graphical touch screen front panel to simplify library management and use
- A wide range of connectivity options through the Spectra T950 controller (QIP)
- Compatible with all major operating systems, backup software packages, and standard data center racks
- Ground-breaking BlueScale technology
BlueScale Encryption
The Spectra T950 library supplies a one-step encryption and backup process-letting you protect your data using federally approved AES-256 encryption while backing up your data. BlueScale Encryption is the only truly integrated encryption for data stored on tape and RXT mobile disk. It lets you seamlessly and affordably add encryption to your backup strategy, with no changes to backup policies and no additional hardware or software.
