Spectra Vail^® is a breakthrough cloud data management software solution for the multi-cloud world. Vail unifies all of your data, allowing you to leverage on-prem applications and native cloud services, no matter where your data is created or stored.

With so many public clouds, so many object storage platforms and so many applications, a solution is needed that makes everything available in a single managed storage platform without vendor lock-in.

Vail provides a user experience that is built utilizing Amazon® Web Services (AWS®), meaning that users familiar with AWS will have an easy transition to Spectra’s Vail software. Vail’s multi- synchronization capability manages cloud and on-premises storage repositories so that customers can direct users to either type of storage based on that user’s locality and performance requirements, all under a single pane of glass management user interface (UI). Vail enables workflows that leverage the flexibility and agility of cloud services while keeping data locally when
needed, allowing egress optimization for lowest cost and fastest access from available storage.

For datasets that are on-premises, Vail can synchronize them to public cloud storage enabling public cloud applications to leverage the same data as on-premises applications.

Spectra Logic BlackPearl can easily store media forever at virtually no cost using a tiered storage strategy that is cost effective, easy to manage and scalable to exabytes of data. With a simple RESTful Spectra S3 interface, content creators can confidently keep data for pennies per gigabyte.

BlackPearl is available in four different series depending on your media write speed requirements:

• BlackPearl V Series 200—300 MB/s sustained write
• BlackPearl S Series 450—800 MB/s sustained write
• BlackPearl P Series up to 3 GB/s sustained write
• BlackPearl X Series up to 10 GB/s sustained write

In addition, BlackPearl is available with both NAS and object storage capabilities in a single cost-effective solution providing self-protecting, flexible and affordable secondary storage for data that does not require continual backup.

Spectra Logic StorCycle® cuts storage costs by moving less-frequently needed content to nearline or offline tiers until needed. No longer do organizations need to fully redesign their storage infrastructure to implement a storage lifecycle management software solution.

StorCycle provides flexible options to orchestrate media movement:

• HTML and Symbolic Links or “stubs” can be left in place of the original file at the exact location where users previously accessed the media. StorCycle and BlackPearl make the media available, and editors avoid having to relink to media during editing.
• Copy/Keep migration copies files to a perpetual storage tier such as nearline storage or LTO tape but keeps the original file on the primary storage tier for a period of time. Storage policies can then be used to delete the original file if the content has not been accessed within a certain period of time.
• A traditional archive workflow will migrate media from the original location to spinning disk nearline or LTO tape tier. With this method, StorCycle’s intuitive web interface allows users to restore data when needed.

StorCycle helps preserve data for long-term storage and future monetization – as well as providing a high degree of cyber-attack preparedness.
