Spectra Stack Tape Library
Built with maximum flexibility at its core, the all-new Spectra Stack Tape Library meets backup, archive and perpetual storage requirements. Designed to be easily installed, expanded and managed, the Spectra Stack is rated at a 100% duty cycle – meaning it is one of the only stackable libraries built to perform in a 24/7 environment. Spectra Stack starts as a 6U library with 1 to 6 LTO tape drives and 10 to 80 LTO tape slots. Each module of the Spectra Stack holds an additional 10 to 80 tape slots and 1 to 6 tape drives. Scalable from 10 to 560 tape slots and 1 to 42 tape drives, users can store more than 6.7PB (16.7PB compressed*) of data in a fully expanded Spectra Stack library. Slots are added in increments of 10, and expansion units are out-of-the-box and configured in under 30 minutes. Purchase what is needed today and not what is needed tomorrow, which means capacity on demand is a reality. This extreme flexibility provides affordability and expandability without compromise.
In addition to being the perfect solution for traditional storage, Spectra Stack is also BlackPearl-enabled, meaning it can easily become part of an object storage solution. One of the only object storage tape solutions on the market, the combination of Spectra Stack and BlackPearl Converged Storage System assures that this solution will continue to grow with business demands. It’s the perfect offload of Tier 1 storage as well as being a backup or offload for cloud environments. And the LTFS tape format ensures that data is easily interchangeable with other systems — eliminating vendor lock-in.
The Spectra Stack library makes any migration plan seamless. Tape is designed for long-term data storage, but too often users are required to sacrifice their existing investment in tape drives when they move to a new tape library. Spectra Stack’s MigrationPass® capability eliminates the need to make that costly decision. MigrationPass starts with the unique ability to migrate existing tape drives into the Spectra Stack library. It also includes a program to help users migrate to later LTO generations as they are released. This unprecedented offering protects user investments while providing a truly open approach to working with a technology designed for multi-generation use.

Canister
Creating multiple tape archives is as simple as making one. Canister works with all standalone LTO drives, supports the newest LTFS drivers, and accepts all sources. Direct to tape? With Shoeshine Protection, it's finally possible.
Browse & retrieve, without wear
Canister is full of technology to make sure tapes are taxed as little as possible. Browse your LTOs, cherrypick only that what you need to retrieve, all without activating the tape to prevent unneeded winding back and forth of your LTOs.
"LTFS was meant to make backup to LTO easy, fast and intuitive. Canister is the first tape backup software that lives up to that promise." Paul van Asseldonk — The Future Store, system integrators
Browse and search all tapes, with Catalogs
Direct access to all your tapes without needing to mount them first - a Catalog is created for each tape Canister sees, and made available as a network mount that is indexed by Spotlight. All changes are tracked, all versions are kept, like a Time Machine. Best of all, it doesn't require a database that one day will go corrupt.
Illegal characters, solved.
No longer are you forced to work around LTFS' shortcomings. Canister handles any illegal character for you with URL encoding. Rocksolid, futureproof, and open to everyone. Finally, there's that guarantee that you will always be able to access your tapes, with every app. No more vendor lock-ins, ever
Checkpoint verification
No archive is useful if it hasn't been fully verified to contain what it should, so you can safely delete the original if needed. With Checkpoint's Archiving engine onboard, Canister verifies every bit it copied with XXH64BE checksums. Need MD5 for legacy workflows? No problem either.
Simultaneous Archiving
Safety comes in numbers, so it's becoming more and more common to create multiple LTO copies at the same time - to save them in separate geographical locations. Like Hedge, Canister's foundation is built to be truly multi-device. Mix different drives all you like, without the lack of speed of older generations getting in the way of newer units.
Duplicate Detection
With projects taking weeks or even months to complete, archiving that what changed regularly is a necessity for many. Canister has duplicate detection built into its core, making it possible to do those incremental backups without any additional ado.
Spanning
Archiving more than will fit on a single tape? Canister's spanning engine keeps track of your files across multiple tapes. Just start archiving to the first tape, add a Label, and Canister will tell you when it needs a new tape. Rinse, repeat, until done.
Zero Driver Fuss
Managing drivers for LTFS is a nightmare, because each LTO manufacturer has its own version. Canister’s Preflight Checks detect which drivers you need, downloads the correct versions for you, and you’re off to the races before you know it.
Shoeshine Protection
With LTO getting faster and faster, source media can quickly become a bottleneck. With regular copy methods, too slow sources shorten the lifespan of your tapes severely. Canister's Shoeshine Protection actively manages supply and demand, resulting in one steady and continous data stream.
Logs, Logs, Logs
With LTO, there's always a need for paperwork somewhere down the line. That's why Canister packs it all: Transfer Logs, Media Hash Lists, Manifests, and a very complete in-app Console. Because you never know what you need, until you need it.
No need for Terminal
LTO tends to make you feel like you took a deep plunge into the IT department. Everything that required you to resort to Terminal can now easily be done in Canister. Format, mount, erase - even Recovery is built-in, if you'd ever need it.
In need of LTO?
Order a Symply LTO through us, get Canister for free, including 3 years of support, updates, and warranty.

HyperStore Xtreme
At 1.5 petabytes in just 4U of rack height, this new system is 83% more dense than Cloudian’s earlier offerings. And it’s 2X the density of what some big-name competitors offer. Furthermore, because it’s an s3-compatible object storage system — not just a drive array — there’s no additional space needed for controllers.
If you’re in a colo, this reduces rack-inches needed by over 70%. If you’re in your own data center, you can delay expansions and do more with the space you have. Either way, you save cost and can do more with the precious space you have.
The HyperStore Xtreme is made possible by combining two next-gen technologies:
- Super-dense hardware platform: Seagate supplies a major part of the hyperscaler infrastructure. Now, the most cutting-edge technology is available to you at the same time the hyperscalers get it.
- Scale-out object storage technology: All hyperscalers rely on scale-out object storage to power their scalable storage environment. The same technology can be part of your shop as well.
The combination give you the benefits previously enjoyed only by the largest cloud providers.
The first 16TB HDDs, and the first 1.5PB 4U
Your competitive advantage is space and cost efficiency. With this design, Seagate has streamlined drive and system integration to accelerate time to market by at least 6 months. This helps you get more efficient gear and get it sooner. This is the first platform with 16TB HDDs in a super-dense 96 drive chassis. Delivering 1.5PB capacity in just 4U of rack height, it also features 1.9TB SSDs for fast metadata access, dual Xeon Silver-based controllers, and eight 10Gb ports.
Cloudian scale-out S3-compatible object storage software
Running on the Seagate chassis is Cloudian’s award-winning software that delivers S3-compatible scale-out enterprise storage. This proven platform offers the industry’s most compatible S3-API, exabyte scalability, exceptional data durability, policy-based data management, and built-in cloud integration with AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Build your private cloud
Private cloud is the fastest growing segment of IT, exceeding the growth of public cloud over the next three years, according to IDC. Shared services are the path to efficiency, whether at your own facility, at a colocation facility, or at an MSP. Cloudian HyperStore Xtreme offers a rich feature set that make it the ultimate environment for building your private cloud.

Archiware P5 Archive
P5 Archive helps to move data to cost-effective tape media. In the process, expensive server storage can be reclaimed while backup times are reduced. By relieving your network of traffic, you’ll get a better working experience and increased productivity.
As of P5 Archive version 5.5, archiving to the cloud is even easier: in addition to Amazon S3, Archiware has integrated cloud support for Amazon Glacier, Generic S3, Hitachi S3, Microsoft Azure, Wasabi and Backblaze. Archiving to the cloud saves hardware and administration cost, plus the available storage can be easily extended when the need arises.
As users requirements grow and change, P5’s modular design allows for optimal scaling to fit your specific needs. There are no limits to possible growth: you can easily add further Archiware products, hardware or media to expand your setup. P5 Archive can save data to disk, tape and the cloud, while the same hardware is used by P5 Backup.
Offsite Storage P5 Archive lets you move or migrate data offline to disk, tape and the cloud. You can monitor files, folders and the directory structure to archive files automatically. Fine-grained filtering can be applied to select or exclude files based on name, size, date etc. Data can be cloned to a second tape for offsite storage. Encryption options protect data against non-authorized access both during the transfer and on the media itself.
Archive Using Pool or Object Format P5 Archive can migrate and archive data offsite using two options: the Pool or Object Format.
Pool Format: includes all the familiar, powerful features of P5 (cloning, migration, etc.). This standard procedure assigns archived data to a Pool consisting of a flexible number of Volumes. The organization and bundling of data into Pools and Volumes creates manageable entities. In the Pool Format, data is exclusively restored through P5. Supported storage formats include tape, disk and the cloud.
Object Format: allows single-file access and share-ability for cooperative workflows. In this format, archived data are stored as individual objects (Files). This mode provides applications and users the option of directly accessing and restoring data archived to the cloud without P5. To enable direct data access, P5 stores data in its original format in the cloud. The link-addresses required for external access are logged by P5. This storage format is only supported in the cloud (Amazon S3, Backblaze, generic S3).
Bare Bones Asset Management P5’s archiving software can function as a bare bones asset management system, e.g. to manage video archives. Features include extendable metadata fields, HTML5 previews and an automatic backup of Archive indexes for effective search and retrieval. Search file types, like images and videos by visual previews.
Archive provides configurable login areas for restricted or direct access to (selected) parts of the archive to browse, search and restore files.
Incremental Archive Data can also be archived in incremental mode. This way, only new and changed files will be archived, effectively minimizing the growth of the Archive.
LTFS Export Option For data transport, files from the Archive can be exported on LTFS formatted tapes. These tapes can be read with free drivers from drive vendors.
3rd Party Integrations P5’s scriptable command line interface offers unlimited options for 3rd party integrations. The following options are already available: axle, FocalPoint Server, CatDV, CANTEMO Portal™, Metus, empress eMAM, DALIM ES, Xinet, Helios, Canto Cumulus.
Add-on: P5 Archive App In the Mac OS X Finder, files can be archived and restored via right-click context menu. There is also a direct integration as a share destination in Final Cut Pro X.
