The T680 library is designed for growing mid-range organisations that demand enterprise level features at a mid-range price. Features like integrated encryption, power usage monitoring, and the ability to add disk based backup alongside tape, within the same unit - come standard on the T680. Utilising innovative TeraPack containers instead of individual cartridge slots, the T680 also achieves a storage density that is unmatched by any other rack mountable library available. The T680 will meet your future capacity and feature needs while reliably protecting your data today.

The Spectra T120 library is easy to use, manage, and maintain. From initial installation to library maintenance, the T120 simplifies backups. And the T120 has extraordinary flexibility—with it, you can start with the features you need now, and add features and capacity as your data grows and backup requirements change.

Simple Installation and Configuration
Spectra Logic provides excellent documentation and CD-based training, and an intuitive guided configuration process, so installation and configuration are painless. The T120 is compatible with all major backup packages and operating systems and provides a wide choice of connectivity options, from direct-connect Fibre Channel and SCSI drives, to Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet controllers (QIPs). Plus the rack-mount library conforms to your data center layout.

Additional Capacity Always Available
There’s always more data, never less, so keeping up with capacity demands is a serious issue. The T120’s capacity on demand (CoD) feature allows you to simply visit the Spectra Logic Web store and select additional capacity. A key enables more slots, and you instantly have access to additional capacity. Get only what you need, then add more as you need it. This keeps costs in check and extends the life of your library.

Drives for Smaller Backup Windows
If your data growth demands smaller backup windows, you can add drives. T120 drives simply slip into the library. And with the controller option, you can upgrade connectiv­ity just as easily, so that you can take advantages of network upgrades or changes that may help your backups get done. Over time, as new connectivity options, or new tape technolo­gies become available, you can also upgrade your library simply by adding a component.

Seamless Reliability
Reliability is ensured by component redundancy—if one fails, another is right there to take over. The T120 supplies an optional N+1 redundant power supply, along with the controller-con­nectivity fail-over capabilities. So if one drive fails (and your backup software permits it) then the controller switches the backup to stream to a working drive. Your backup keeps going, even if a drive doesn’t. Plus, the T120 library’s compact, highly dense construction preserves expensive data center space while lowering power usage and cooling costs.

BlueScale Encryption
BlueScale Encryption is the only truly integrated encryption solution for data stored on tape. The T120 lets you seamlessly and affordably add encryption to your backup strategy – with no changes to backup policies and no additional hardware or software. Two major features are:

• There is a single point of management for both encryption and data backup, plus the flexibility to manage it all from anywhere with a Web-based Remote Library Controller (RLC), secure through the use of SSL.
  
• The T120 uses the federally approved AES-256 encryption algorithm – the most secure method of encrypting data, and considered unbreakable by the US Government.

The T50 offers the most advanced LTO technology and an extensive feature set comparable to the enterprise-level Spectra T950 and mid-range T120 libraries. Features such as CoD, SLS and encryption set a new standard for entry level libraries. It has multiple generations of Spectra Logic hardware and software technology underpinning its integrity. The Spectra T50 is simply the most advanced, easiest to use small library anywhere.

Ready in less than 30 Minutes
It takes less than half an hour to install and set up the Spectra T50 library. How? It comes with clear and concise documentation and an intuitive configuration process. It’s compatible with all major backup packages and operating systems, and provides a choice of connectivity options—either direct-connect SCSI, Fibre Channel or iSCSI. And physically, the 4U library can be rack-mounted or used on a tabletop.

Low-effort Management
The T50 saves significant staff time and effort with consolidated media handling. TeraPack® technology lets you handle multiple LTO tapes at a time, grouped in increments of five and protected by a TeraPack case. Each tape, and the case itself, has a bar code, making it easy to track media both on-site and off-site. And the Spectra T50 keeps your library running with monitoring and alerts on library status. The library is built using modular components, so parts can be replaced or upgraded with minimal disruption to the backup process.

Eminently Scalable Capacity
There’s always more data, never less, so keeping up with capacity demands is a serious issue. The T50’s capacity on demand (CoD) feature allows you to simply visit the Spectra Logic Web store to purchase additional capacity keys. A key enables more slots, and you instantly have access to additional capacity. Get only what you need, then add more as you need it. This keeps costs in check and extends the life of your library. And, if your data growth demands smaller backup windows, add drives. The library supports up to two full-height LTO drives or up to four half-height LTO drives.

Back up data without worry, thanks to the Spectra T24 LTO library. The T24 lets you automate backup using proven, reliable HP LTO drives and tapes, without breaking the budget. With the T24 library, count on data backups running without your attention and time. You won’t have to handle every tape and start every backup process. The Spectra T24 library uses only 2U—a few inches—of rack space to support 24 LTO tapes and up to 2 HP LTO drives and 24 LTO tapes, storing up to 19.2 TB of compressed data.

Upgrading is easy and makes your T24 investment useful for years to come. It’s easy to expand the library’s:

Capacity
There's always more data, never less... so keeping up with capacity demands is a serious issue, and one the Spectra T24 library handles well. The library comes with all 24 slots enabled, ready to grow with your data at any time.

Performance
If your data growth means that you have more data to backup in less time, simply add a second drive to backup data faster. The library supports up to two half-height LTO drives. It’s easy to add the second drive to improve backup performance.

Capacity and performance with next generation drives and tape
The Spectra T24 library currently supports LTO-3 technology. As new generations of LTO drives and media become available, those will also be supported by the Spectra T24 library.

With the T24 library, you can trust your library to handle data backup, giving you time to tackle other tasks. The T24 provides:

Hands-off, worry-free data backup
Thanks to the T24’s efficient library robotics, bar-code reader, innate intelligence and easy implementation, you can schedule data backup to run automatically. The T24 is highly reliable, so that you can count on getting your data backed up on schedule.

Easy installation and configuration
It takes less than an hour to install and set up the Spectra T24 library. Part of the reason the library is so easy to install and configure is that the Spectra T24 library is compatible with every major operating system (such as Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac, Novell, and more) and runs with all major backup packages along with the included QuickStart backup software.

Ease of use
It’s easy to use, configure, and manage the Spectra T24 library with its remote management interface through a Web browser. This lets you manage your Spectra T24 library from anywhere—your office, a different building, or a different country.
