Spectra T950 library

T950 - Lowering your data protection TCO






The Spectra T950 library is a world-class enterprise tape and disk automation library. For data backup and recovery, this elite library leads the field in cost-effective innovation--from the greatest storage density to the first true integration of disk in an automated library. The Spectra T950 library is the best of breed, and with its lowest cost of ownership, is also the best deal for your data center.

  • Easy to use, manage and maintain—lowering management costs.
  • Highly reliable with WORM, guaranteed support, redundant components, and high-security features - reducing risk.
  • A library you can expand, as you need to, in any way you need to - in performance, capacity, media, connectivity, and more, including an option that lets you readily add disk— protecting your investment.
Spectra T950 library offers you:


  • Minimum configuration has as few as 100 tape slots and two drives
  • Scale up to as many as 6150 slots depending on the number of drives
  • Scale up to as many as 120 drives depending on the number of slots
  • Cascades up to five frames with single robotic mechanism, which increases reliability and lowers cost
  • LTO and SDLT mixed media or portable RXT disk
  • Controller-based connectivity (QIP) , supporting Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet with iSCSI
  • Hot swap components, including drives and controllers
  • A wide array of additional features , thanks to the T950’s BlueScale software environment


Technical Overview
The T950’s BlueScale environment is the library’s core—the library’s intelligence. BlueScale software is the results of a decade’s work in data protection and tape libraries—disk, too. This intelligence provides the features that make up the T950, and its ability to support new technologies as they evolve. The BlueScale environment supports:
  • Partitioning—Shared Library Services (SLS)—without external hardware or software
  • Capacity on Demand (CoD) lets you add capacity, on demand, simply by logging onto the Spectra Logic Web site and requesting a key that you use to enable the new slots
  • Hot-swap drives and controllers; redundant components; high density: modular design
  • Guaranteed support, including Assisted self-maintenance (ASM) option and AutoSupport.
  • WORM-compatible media, with LTO, SDLT, and RXT disk
  • Observatory, Remote Library Controller (RLC), and graphical touch screen front panel to simplify library management and use
  • A wide range of connectivity options through the T950 controller Quad Interface Proces­sor (QIP).
  • Compatible with all major operating systems, backup software packages, and standard data center racks.
  • Ground-breaking BlueScale technology including available high security tape encryption
