Creates a multi-tier private cloud to store a copy of frequently accessed data on online disk, and archive infrequent or rarely accessed data indefinitely on Spectra ArcticBlue disk-based archive or Spectra Logic tape.
Ensures true genetic diversity of data storage via storage on different media types and geographic dispersion of data-two key elements of a solid digital preservation strategy.
Allows data to be moved easily to the public cloud for backup or disaster recovery.
The integration of Cyberduck will help simplify data management. Customers can use Cyberduck to move data between previously disparate storage platforms including local file systems, remote FTP systems, and a host of public cloud storage, including Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Google Cloud Storage and Drive, Microsoft Azure, Rackspace Cloudfiles and iRODS. Integrating Cyberduck with the BlackPearl will give users the ability to drag-and-drop data between BlackPearl objects that reside on Spectra’s ArcticBlue disk or tape libraries, and multiple online cloud object stores. The direct archive into Amazon public cloud adds a new tier of data storage alongside its tiering to nearline and tape. The BlackPearl Deep Storage Gateway is aimed at organizations where data is a significant part of their operations. Spectra Logic also announced the certification of the Cyberduck open source client software tool with its BlackPearl Deep Storage Gateway.Īs we previously wrote, Spectra Logic’s BlackPearl Deep Storage Gateway sits in front of the deep storage tape libraries and can easily be used as a tier for deep storage, is cost-effective, and has extremely high scalability. BlackPearl can now integrate directly with Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) Standard, and can automatically restore data archived to Glacier and Infrequent Access. Spectra Logic has announced that it has made enhancements to its BlackPearl Deep Storage Gateway that enables direct archive to Amazon’s public cloud offering.
