Spectra Cube Tape Library

High Performance

Utilizing the high-performance transporter robot from the enterprise Spectra TFinity ExaScale Tape Library and the Spectra TeraPack Media architecture, the Spectra Cube Tape Library offers one of the highest data density and robotic performance in a modern tape library.

The Spectra Cube Tape Library comes standard with LumOS library management software. This modern application provides an intuitive user interface that makes using the Spectra Cube Tape Library very efficient. A standard REST API with full functionality makes automation easy and straightforward.

With LTO-9, at maximum drive configuration, transfer data up to 32.4 TB per hour. (81 TB per hour compressed).

High Capacity

When data center real-estate counts, the Spectra Cube Tape Library offers unsurpassed storage density in a small footprint via a unique and efficient library designed to fit into a standard rack-row layout. More capacity in less floor space and the highest data density available in archive storage.

Using innovative shelves instead of slots, and Spectra TeraPack Media containers in place of individual cartridges, the Spectra Cube Tape Library uses less floor space but does not give up any robotic performance.

Only buy what you need today and add storage capacity as you need it. Upgrade capacity in intervals of 10 LTO tape slots at a time. Tape consolidation through capacity, performance, partitioning and reporting results in a lower total cost of ownership.

With LTO-9 technology, you can store up to 30.1 PB (native) and 75.2 PB (compressed) of data at the maximum slot configuration and capacity can range from 50 to 1670 slots and 1 to 16 FH and 1 to 30 HH drives or a combination of the two.

Built-in Flexibility

Spectra Cube Tape Libraries can operate either LTO-9, LTO-8, LTO-7, and LTO-6 tape technologies. Paired with extensive software and hardware partners, organizations can develop customized workflows for every situation and make migrating to new LTO technology easier than ever.

Empty Spectra TeraPacks provide a means to import tape media, already written with data, into a new library for continued use or migration. Spectra TeraPacks can also provide additional storage outside of the library.

High Reliability

The Spectra Cube Tape Library offers an advanced suite of standard features that allow you to actively check data already written to tape. Data integrity verification examines media health before and after data writes, when enabled. Integrated LumOS encryption provides automatic data protection.

PreScan checks each imported tape and verifies that the tape can be safely written to. QuickScan scans a tape unidirectionally to provide a rapid indicator of integrity of data written and can be done on a programmatic timeframe to help ensure data integrity over time.

The Spectra Cube Tape Library offers a high level of encryption security, with compression, for strong backup data privacy to deliver confidential information and address compliance quickly. Supports WORM media (using LTO-9, LTO-8, LTO-7, or LTO-6) for a fail-safe method of permanently storing data.
