Syncsort's Backup Express certified with Spectra Logic's T950 Tape Library.

Backup Express, the enterprise backup and restore product from Syncsort Incorporated, has been tested and certified with the Spectra T950 Tape Library from Spectra Logic, their latest half-inch library, with revolutionary Python architecture.

"Customers need to lower overhead costs and streamline operations, so they demand the latest technology in an economical package to meet these objectives," says Susie Weiss, director of strategic alliances at Spectra Logic. "By combining Spectra Logic's libraries with Syncsort's Backup Express we are able to provide customers with unmatched flexibility, expandability and data life cycle management in the enterprise at a very competitive price."

"Our customers are constantly looking for ways to lower their costs and increase efficiencies in their Data Centers," says Winston W. Hait, senior product manager at Syncsort, Inc. "The fact that Backup Express is certified for Spectra Logic's T950 lets our customers know that they can easily integrate the two in their backup and restore and storage solutions. This not only doubles the storage density of most libraries, but also reduces maintenance, labor and storage management costs."

The Spectra T950 library, with the Python architecture, raises the bar in technology features and end-user value in the half-inch tape market. Spectra Logic's revolutionary TeraPack delivers time savings in media handling, the industry's highest storage density, reduced robotic wear, lowering labor costs and increased library uptime, thus lowering TCO.

Spectra Logic's efficient and revolutionary media management system is based on the TeraPack, which improves media management inside and outside the library, and offsite. TeraPacks provide bulk loading and unloading of media, which saves time. Moving groups of media at once decreases the amount of movements and therefore reduces robotic wear.
