Spectra’s BlackPearl Object Storage Disk delivers long-term disk-only storage for the price of tape. Powered by Spectra’s BlackPearl Converged Storage System, BlackPearl Object Storage Disk provides organizations with object-based, disk storage that scales in capacity and performance with a very low total cost of ownership (TCO).

Engineered for data reliability and integrity, Spectra’s unique implementation of ZFS software brings new life to disk storage. BlackPearl Object Storage Disk creates an on-premise cloud with a Spectra S3 interface to make archive storage more accessible. And the 16TB disk drive extends storage capacities to more than 15.4 petabytes (PB) in a single BlackPearl Object Storage Disk solution.

The spin-down disk technology of BlackPearl Object Storage Disk intelligently powers down bands of storage when idle, minimizing disk degradation and extending the life of the disks up to seven years. This powerful feature alleviates the need for a subsystem refresh in three or four years, providing significant cost savings in procuring and deploying a new system.

Perfect for tapeless IT environments, BlackPearl Object Storage Disk is also a cost-effective complement to environments with tape storage that need affordable long-term online data protection.

The Spectra® BlackPearl® Converged Storage System solves the problem of costly and complex approaches to digital preservation by combining multiple standard interfaces and storage targets into a simple and affordable solution designed for diverse workflows. BlackPearl incorporates feature-rich software within the ultimate purpose-built hardware platform to modernize content storage. It’s a self-managing, cloud-enabled object storage platform that provides organizations with the openness, scalability, efficiency and control they demand to easily grow and adapt to changing business models. BlackPearl tightly integrates with industry-leading asset management applications to simplify workflows, seamlessly managing large volumes of content. The solution unlocks multiple storage targets including online disk, nearline disk, deep storage tape, and even public cloud. Through BlackPearl’s advanced data policy management software, data can be stored on any storage target and policies can be applied to determine how many copies will be made on each storage target and how long the data will reside there.

Data can be archived to Spectra Logic storage targets via several different paths or workflows. Manual file movement is employed when the user can identify the files to be moved themselves. Advanced scanning software can search a file system and identify files to be archived based on date, project or other criteria. Fully automated archiving software can continuously scan and archive inactive files while still allowing users to access the files as they always have. And applications intended for other specific tasks, such as video asset management software, can allow users to archive directly to Spectra storage without leaving the application.

Spectra Logic partners or customers can also utilize Spectra Logic designed clients or build a Spectra S3 application. With BlackPearl’s product family, organizations will find the perfect fit for their unique workflow.

Designed as the optimal disk platform for storage of mid-tier data, including primary storage offload, data staging, backup and archiving, BlackPearl Network Attached Storage (NAS) is one of the most affordable enterprise storage solutions on the market, costing as little as pennies per gigabyte. Scaling capacity, performance and platform, the BlackPearl NAS allows users to easily and affordably manage large files while planning for the future. It delivers a complete array of storage and interface options for ultimate flexibility, including: Flash drives, Enterprise SAS drives, and Archive SATA drives – all supported simultaneously. To ensure content is protected, BlackPearl NAS was designed with three levels of protection RAID Z1, Z2 and Z3, global spare drives, redundant power, hot pair, and intelligent drive rebuild. BlackPearl NAS can also replicate itself using asynchronous replication to another BlackPearl NAS, creating a second copy of stored data for a higher level of data assurance.

Unique to the BlackPearl NAS system, is the ability to upgrade the solution with Spectra’s TranScale feature, at any time, to a BlackPearl Converged Storage System, an object storage solution that leverages multiple storage tiers. BlackPearl NAS is innovative because it is the ONLY NAS with three levels of field upgradability, allowing users to start small and plan for the future. Performance upgrades leverage flash-only pools for increased speed; capacity upgrades enable users to scale up to 10.7PB in a single rack; and platform upgrade capabilities allow users to easily TranScale BlackPearl NAS to a BlackPearl Converged Storage System. By upgrading BlackPearl NAS to BlackPearl Converged Storage System, a user’s traditional file system files (CIFS/NFS) can be passed through BlackPearl as object storage to additional near-line disk, archive disk with spin-down capability, digital tape, cloud, a replicated copy to another BlackPearl, or any combination of those storage options – all without requiring expensive middleware.

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.

Spectra’s StorCycle storage lifecycle management software is an easy, affordable and efficient solution built specifically to identify inactive data that consumes expensive primary storage capacity. It then migrates identified data to a more affordable protected tier of storage called the Perpetual Storage Tier, while leaving the data fully accessible to users. The Perpetual Storage Tier holds inactive data, which is tracked, protected and is available at a future time if needed, or even deleted when the data has reached the end of its lifecycle. This tier is also used for data distribution, backup, archive, disaster recovery and more.

More than 80 percent of data is being stored on the wrong tier of storage, costing organizations millions of dollars a year. IT professionals intuitively know they are not storing their data efficiently because they have never been given the correct tools to do so… until now. Spectra Logic’s StorCycle software is the answer to deploying a modern storage lifecycle management workflow. StorCycle reduces the overall cost of storing data by up to 70 percent.

Data center space is expensive and in short supply. Efficient use of that space is critical. The new Cloudian HyperStore Xtreme, Powered by Seagate, offers the industry’s highest storage density, letting you make the most of your space and your budget.

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.

Media Archiving Software The software’s browser-based interface enables fast and easy configuration, administration and monitoring – regardless of your location.

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.

MediaScaleX // Storage is a software-defined, object storage platform that unifies online, nearline and archive storage into a single, shared, scalable cluster.  It enables Media businesses to simplify and cost-reduce storage operations.

With a single UI into an exabyte-ready environment, and the ability to simultaneously store multiple pools of data in file (NFS, SMB) and object (S3, Rados, Swift) formats, MediaScaleX // Storage is one of a kind.  Critical data protection functions like erasure-coding and data scrubbing are standard features to support data integrity and long-term retention.  While in-built support for NVMe, SSD and HDD technologies enables clusters to respond to multiple performance requirements.  Using the open Ceph storage engine at its core, MediaScaleX // Storage is hardened, robust, flexible and above-all built for scale.

Launched in 2015 to address Multi Service Operators' requirements for cloud DVR storage, MediaScaleX // Storage was designed from the ground up to combine high intensity ingest, record and playout processes with the need for deep archiving of VOD and customer-recorded content.  This same solution supports any Media business to unify islands of storage into simpler, more scalable systems.  And with high-performance integration with the MediaScaleX // Origin platform, content can be streamed on demand from any part of the storage cluster.

As Broadcasters and Post-Production operations target storage simplification, more workflow agility and cloud-compatibility, object storage is becoming more important.  MediaScaleX // Storage provides cloud capabilities in an on-premise platform to allow Media businesses to easily scale and manage storage as requirements evolve.
