Also, it supports WORM media (using LTO-9, LTO-8, LTO-7, or LTO-6) providing a fail-safe method for permanently storing data records.īy using the new Spectra SWARM for HPE Ethernet to SAS bridge in an Spectra TFinity ExaScale Tape Library, there is now an option for connecting LTO drives over an Ethernet interface from a host.Since 1987 - Covering the Fastest Computers in the World and the People Who Run Them The library provides a high-level of encryption security to offer strong backup data privacy to deliver confidential information and address compliance quickly. All features are now available for both LTO and TS1160 technology.

FullScan checks for media errors on the entire tape. QuickScan checks tapes unidirectionally to provide a fast indicator of written data integrity. PreScan checks imported tapes to verify that they can be safely written to. Integrated BlueScale Encryption provides automatic data protection.
SPECTRA TFINITY VERIFICATION
Data integrity verification examines media health before and after data writes, when enabled. The library offers a sophisticated suite of standard features, allowing you to actively check data already written to tape. All the parts and pieces have been carefully crafted and integrated for increased reliability.

Spectra TFinity ExaScale Tape Library includes a redundant dual robotic infrastructure, that not only provides for a failover solution, but also boosts the working ability. With TS1160 technology, you can store 2.14 EB of compressed data at the maximum slot configuration, with 45 to 42,930 slots and 1 to 144 drives. With LTO-9 technology, you can store 2.5 EB of compressed data at the maximum slot configuration, with 50 to 56,400 slots and 1 to 144 drives. Tape consolidation through capacity, performance, partitioning, and reporting results in a lower total cost of ownership.
SPECTRA TFINITY UPGRADE
Upgrade capacity in intervals of 10 LTO or 9 enterprise tape slots at a time. Only buy what you need today and add storage capacity as you need it. Using innovative shelves instead of slots and TeraPack containers in place of individual cartridges, the Spectra TFinity ExaScale Tape Library density uses less floor space. When data center real estate counts, Spectra TFinity ExaScale Tape Library offers you incredible storage density and one of the smallest footprints through a unique and highly efficient library design built to fit into a standard rack-row layout for additional storage capacity in less floor space. The other robot takes over any requested move operations. Option of non-isolation service bays are available so that when a robot has a failure, it moves to the far right or left of the library. Time-Based Access Ordering System (TAOS) speeds up overall recall time and reduces wear by intelligently reordering individual recalls for media and drives. Zoning allocates a library territory for each robot to achieve greater performance as the two robots move media freely within the library. With TS1160 technology, at maximum drive configuration, transfer data at rates up to 207.4 TB per hour (466.6 TB per hour compressed). With LTO-9 technology, at maximum drive configuration, transfer data at rates up to 207.4 TB per hour (518 TB per hour compressed). These are accomplished by reduced cycle time and tape mount time (better performance) as well as increased mean time between failures (better reliability).

The transporter has been designed with goals of performance and reliability. From robotics, to drives, to software, to media, performance innovations are included in these libraries. The Spectra TFinity ExaScale Tape Library is built with high-performance, automated tape technology.
