A fully populated Spectra TFinity ExaScale library with IBM TS1170 tape drives and JF media allows it to store up to 2.15 exabytes of uncompressed data, and using the 3:1 compression ratio, the total stored data capacity of a single system can be up to 6.45 exabytes.
Spectra libraries also support intermixing IBM TS series, Oracle T10000, and LTO tape drives, providing flexible configurations needed for smooth data migrations, support capacity, and technology upgrades and delivering superior investment protection for many years.
Benefiting government, scientific research, high-performance computing, media and entertainment, and public cloud environments, the TS1170 tape drive leverages new ultra-high capacity JF media, engineered with Strontium Ferrite (SrFe) particle technology, enabling a native storage capacity of 50TB per cartridge, more than double the previous version and twice that of the highest capacity disk drive offerings in the market.
The massive proliferation of data has enterprises seeking new strategies and solutions for managing and safeguarding it. By leveraging industry-leading technologies such as the IBM TS1170 tape drive, Spectra libraries can deliver nearly unlimited capacity, easy access to data on-demand, and long-term data retention while being more budget-friendly than traditional disk or flash alternatives.
