Bangalore: Spectra Logic announced its latest enterprise tape library called T-Finity which the company claims will meet demanding archive and backup requirements while saving customers up to 30 percent on initial capital investments and 15 to 20 percent on annual recurring operational expenses. The Spectra T-Finity library offers multiple, redundant robots, scaling to more than 45 petabytes in a single library and to more than 180 petabytes in a single, unified library complex. The library is targeted for use in data-intensive environments such as large enterprise IT, federal, high performance computing (HPC) and media/entertainment. Spectra T-Finity enables customers to select their preferred enterprise tape option with its support of industry-leading LTO open tape technology and IBM System Storage TS1130 tape drives.
