The Spectra 64000 tape library - exceptional capacity and scalability

Now we can manage huge amounts of data without wasting valuable data center space. Scalable to 640 slots and 32 tape drives, the Spectra 64000 is the ultimate enterprise storage library. With 166 terabytes (TB) of compressed storage (using Sony AIT-3 tape technology), no other library comes close to providing this much capacity in such a compact space.
