Enterprise Storage Without Compromise: The Spectra T950 Library
For enterprise organizations, the award-winning Spectra T950 library is the best
tape and VTL backup platform on the market. It offers the most features, highest
reliability, the most storage and is the only data protection platform offering the
options of integrated tape, VTL and AES-256 bit encryption with complete key
management. Spectra Logic BlueScale Encryption provides key management
through the standard library interfaces for both library-based encryption and
LTO-4 drive-based encryption.
Scale the Spectra T950 Library As Needed: Investment Protection
The Spectra T950 library grows along with your data. You can expand the
Spectra T950 library in large or small increments, adding capacity, drives and
VTL storage as you go. You can expand beyond one frame to as many as eight
frames, up to 120 drives, and as many as 10,050 cartridges.

Virtual Tape Library
RXT: Virtual Tape Library
The RXT product family includes RXT VTL for the T-Series, the rack-mount RXT350, and the stand-alone RXT150. All RXT RAID solutions use the RXT drive, which in many respects works like a tape drive. The main difference being that RXT drives write to mobile media composed of multiple Serial ATA (SATA) disks. The disks are sealed in a rugged, shock-dampened enclosure and protected by RAID.
The RXT350 and RXT150 products also have the ability to format their RXT media packs for NFS. Easily interchangeable with RXT VTL media packs, NFS­formatted media packs can be connected to a file system and used like other NFS drives while retaining their RAID configuration and portability.
RXT Installation and Setup
RXT VTL for T-Series: 20 minutes to configure a partition and load RXT media RXT350: 2u, 20 minutes to install and configure RXT150: 5 minutes to install
RXT Flexibility
Multiple choices of media capacities and RAID Levels: Gold RXT Media (1.2-2.4TB*) — rugged, fast Silver RXT Media (500 GB, 1TB, 2TB*) — broad applicability Green RXT Media (2TB*)—cost-effective
RAID Levels: 0,1 and 5
* Native capacity - Subject to change as higher capacities become available

nTier Archive and Backup Servers
Spectra Logic nTier archive and backup servers are a complete solution designed
specifically to meet your data archive, backup and retrieval requirements. nTier
connects seamlessly with tape libraries, providing a complete platform for
archiving and backing up data to disk and to tape.
The nTier servers support NFS/CIFS file systems and multiple optional
applications. With flexible file system support, you can assign a disk partition to its
own network drive letter and display NFS/CIFS data in the standard drive directory
structure. Along with NFS/CIFS, nTier offers a wide range of archive and backup
applications. Select only the applications you need; if you need more applications
later, you can easily add them.
The nTier product family combines Spectra Logic’s RAID 6 protected disk array
with powerful processors and an open operating system – all in a compact unit.
Because organizational needs often differ, the nTier solution lets you choose
which of a variety of software features to use, including;
