A provenperformance leaderfor users readyto takethe next stepin storage automationSPECTRA 10000 TAPE LIBRARYIn only seven inches of rack space, the Spectra10000 library offers a reliable, cost-effective andscalable tape storage solution for all data centers.The Spectra 10000 delivers exceptional capacityand throughput, without the large footprint andhigh cost of other tape libraries—ideal for fast,frequent backups of large networks, servers,VLDBsand data warehouses.BULLFROG ARCHITECTUREThe Spectra 10000 uses BullFrog architecturedeveloped by Spectra Logic. This architecture allowsthe library to be configured with 20 or 40 cartridgesand up to four tape drives. It supports SCSI-2(Single-ended, HVD and LVD) and Fibre Channelinterfaces, making the Spectra 10000 a reliable andadaptable tape storage library for your growingdata center.SONY® AIT TECHNOLOGYSpectra 10000 libraries feature Sony AdvancedIntelligent Tape (AIT) drives and media. AITprovides users with a technological progressionwith a history of doubling capacity and transferrates every two years.The Spectra 10000 library is available in either charcoal grey (above) or white/light grey (right). The library iseasily mounted into a rack configuration for efficient data center operation and ease of use. Standard or telco rackstyles may be used. The Spectra 10000 library may also be positioned on a desktop surface.SCALABILITY ANDSHARABILITYThe patented Spectra 10000 design allows usersto configure a library with 20 or 40 cartridges andup to four AIT drives. The library can be upgraded inthe field by adding drives or slots to meet futuregrowth requirements. Users can split a single
Spectra 10000 library into two “logical” libraries, afeature that allows sharing of storage resourcesbetween different servers, operating systems andeven software applications.GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACEThe Spectra 10000 library features an award-winningLCD touchscreen graphical user interface thatprovides access to status information, configurationparameters and diagnostics.INTERFACE TECHNOLOGIESStorage Area Networks, Network Attached Storageand new SCSI variations are the foundations oftoday’s new computing infrastructures.TheSpectra 10000 tape library is available in SCSI-2(Single-ended, HVD and LVD) and Fibre Channel(supporting private loop, public loop and fabrictopologies). As interface technologies evolve, yourSpectra 10000 can be upgraded, protecting yourinvestment by offering you the potential to moveforward with the industry.ROBOTICSSpectra Logic’s innovative fixed-carouseldesign is robust. A Digital Signal Processor(DSP) achieves extreme accuracy in positioning,without requiring the calibration needed fortraditional analog servo systems.RELIABILITYThe Spectra 10000 library has earned a solidreputation throughout the industry for reliability.Only two servo motors are required for movingcartridges. The robotics have been tested to exceed1.5 million mean cycles between failure.The Spectra 10000 offers a very reliable storagesolution in a small footprint for effective use of datacenter space. Removing the cover of this fullyloaded library shows the fixed-carouselrobotics system housing thecartridges and thelocation of thefour drives.ABOUT SPECTRA LOGICSpectra Logic has been designing andmanufacturing leading edge storage peripheralsfor a wide range of computer applications since1979. Our tape libraries deliver best-in-classperformance, reliability, scalability and affordability.Spectra Logic provides data protection for customersworldwide with library products ranging in capacityfrom hundreds of gigabytes to hundreds of terabytes.Optical sensors and a “closed loop” design ensurethat the Spectra 10000 library is constantly awareof the state and location of all cartridges, drivesand robotics.
