Enterprise Functionality and Scalability at Mid-Range Prices
Preserve your initial storage investment with Spectra Logic's TranScale™ T-Series libraries. By utilizing interchangeable components, our libraries easily transform and scale (TranScale) to protect your storage investment as your organization—and data—grows. Designed with enterprise-level functionality at mid-range prices, the TranScale T-Series libraries feature unmatched storage density, integrated encryption, power-usage monitoring, and the ability to add disk-based backup alongside tape—all inside the same library unit. Ideal for growing mid-range organizations, Spectra's TranScale T-Series meets your storage capacity and feature needs now and in the future.
Spectra TranScale T-Series Libraries can:
- Start with 50 tape slots and scale up to 680 slots.
- Scale up to as many as 24 drives.
- Don't stop there. With the TranScale architecture, you can upgrade to a larger TranScale T-Series Library and preserve your investment by continuing to use the expensive library components. Interchange the:
- Power Supplies
- Drives
- Interfaces (QIPs)
- Robotics
- TeraPacks
- Add SATA-based RXT media, instantly adding VTL to your backup strategy.
- Support mixed media, within a single enclosure, of any combination of LTO, SAIT, and SDLT tape technologies, and mobile RXT VTL media.
Technical Features
Spectra TranScale T-Series BlueScale 10 environment is the library's core intelligence. BlueScale technology is backed by a decade's work in data protection with tape and disk libraries. Its intelligence provides the Spectra T-Series current innovative features, as well as its ability to support new technologies as they evolve. The BlueScale environment supports:
- Integrated BlueScale Encryption that supplies hardware-based encryption through our QIP or LTO-4 hardware and total key management (including LTO-4), with no external hardware or software
- Partitioning through Shared Library Services (SLS) without external hardware or software
- Capacity on Demand (CoD), which lets you add capacity as you need it and when you need it, simply by logging onto the Spectra Logic Web site and requesting a key that you use to enable new slots
- Hot-swap drives and controllers, redundant components, and high-density modular design
- Guaranteed on-time support, including an assisted self-maintenance (ASM) option and AutoSupport
- WORM-compatible media, with LTO, SAIT, SDLT, and RXT disk
- Support for integrated removable RXT RAID VTL
- Observatory, Remote Library Controller (RLC), and graphical touch-screen front panel to simplify library management and use
- Connectivity with Fibre Channel and SCSI drives
- Compatible with all major operating systems, backup software packages, and standard data center racks
- Ground-breaking BlueScale EnergyAudit™ power monitoring feature
Free Encryption
Spectra TranScale libraries supply a one-step encryption and backup process, BlueScale Encryption, as a standard feature—letting you protect your data using federally-approved AES-256 encryption while backing up your data. BlueScale Encryption is the only truly integrated encryption for data stored on tape and RXT mobile disk, and lets you seamlessly and affordably add encryption to your backup strategy without changing any existing backup policies and requires no additional hardware or software.
