Spectra Logic Enhances Backup

AUSTIN, Texas -- Spectra Logic, the data storage innovator, is developing the next revision of the BlueScale management software, the common interface across its T-series tape libraries and nTier backup and archive disk appliances. BlueScale 10.5 offers new features that simplify data storage and boost backup reliability in enterprise and HPC environments.

BlueScale retains all of its existing features, including Spectra BlueScale Encryption with key management, EnergyAudit power monitor, Media Lifecycle Management and AutoSupport. BlueScale 10.5 adds these new functionalities:

BlueScale 10.5 features enable open storage options to ease operations in custom and HPC environments:

Auto Drive Cleaning is now integrated in the library for customers with archive or backup solutions that do not include drive cleaning functionality. BlueScale is compatible with major and custom backup and archive packages including Amanda, Backula, Disk Extender, DIVArchive, DMF, HPSS, MassStore, NetBackup, Sympana, TSM and Spectra Logic continues to open its storage offerings so customers may choose preferences and integrate them seamlessly.

Command Line Interface (CLI) gives direct library control and reporting to users with custom backup requirements, a commonality in HPC and broadcast industries during backup and archive processes. CLI increases the number of accessibility options available to the library user, such as Web, XML and SSL.
