The Spectra 2000 tape library - exceptional department level backup

The Spectra 2000 tape library provides a low-cost, department level backup and storage solution for today's distributed networks and servers, without sacrificing high-end features. Scalable with either 15 or 30 slots and one or two tape drives, the Spectra 2000 delivers automation that reduces the risk of data loss and eliminates costly manual interactions - freeing up system administrators for more important tasks. With almost eight terabytes (TB) of compressed storage capacity (using Sony AIT-3 tape technology), no other library comes close to providing this much capacity in such a compact space. Available fully loaded with 30 slots or entry level with a 15 slot configuration.
