spectra t950: innovative excellence
The Spectra T950 enterprise-class library is designed and built to directly address customer frustration with the
entire process of data backup. The Spectra T950 library reduces staff involvement tremendously, supports the only
truly automated and integrated RAID solution with removable RXT disk, scales in performance and capacity, sup-
plies a range of support options from around-the-clock, worldwide, on-site support to a unique self-service option,
and all with a design that yields up to ten times the storage density of competing libraries.
reduced time and effort handling & managing media: terapack® technology
One problem that seems outside the scope of an automated library is handling and managing the high quantity of
tape cartridges storing data. The Spectra T950 brings an elegant, straightforward solution to the problem: TeraPack
containers, each container holding multiple tapes and its own unique bar code.
Although users can easily access individual cartridges in the T950 they are no longer required to do so. With
hundreds or thousands of cartridges in a single library, this technology automatically reduces handling time by 90
percent. For example, with ten LTO tapes per TeraPack case, users can load ten TeraPack containers in under three
minutes, compared to the hour it would take to load 100 cartridges into a competing library. Because cartridges
are very rarely handled one-by-one, cartridges are protected from mishandling and damage. It’s easy to protect
exported TeraPack media with dust covers that simply snap on, protecting cartridges and letting containers
stack easily. Further, because TeraPack containers themselves are bar coded, users can track each
pack of cartridges using a single identifi er, even outside the library. TeraPack contain-
ers are compatible with off-site shipping containers provided by media storage
companies such as Iron Mountain.
just add raid: truly integrated and automated raid portable rxt media
Another extraordinary option for the Spectra T950 is removable RAID, available in TeraPack cases. Portable RXT
combines the reliability of disk with the mobility of tape, plugging the gap between fi xed disk and tape. By com-
bining the best of tape and disk, RXT supplies a truly integrated disk-to-disk-to-tape solution: portable RAID.
RXT technology expands on the drive-and-media model of tape. But, instead of a tape drive, RXT technology is
embedded in a docking station that contains a RAID controller. And, instead of writing to tape cartridges, RXT
technology writes to portable media, each composed of multiple SATA disks sealed in a rugged
enclosure. Because RXT supports tape virtualization, RXT media is transparent to backup
software. RXT gives you the performance and reliability advantages of fi xed disk, yet stores
data to RAID that can be easily moved off-site. Using RXT in the Spectra T950, you add disk to
your data center without a huge initial investment, and without any change to your backup environment,
strategy, and storage footprint. The Spectra T950 library lets you automate RAID, using RXT TeraPack
media in addition to tape media, within a single unit.
