Spectra Logic Tape Libraries come in sizes from 10 to 1000s of slots to fit the need of any business, from small production companies to large enterprises.
Archiving is the best method to create space on high performance storage. It keeps all important data accessible in one place and reduces the risk of data loss. Saving space on precious production storage is another benefit. Archiving also reduces the cost of storage, since tape offers the lowest cost per TB of any medium. Spectra’s stack libraries can be expanded in 10 slot increments and hold up to 560 slots for 6.7 TB.
