Spectra BlueScale Software

Backing up and protecting data requires a whole lot more than a few tapes or disks. Data backup requires built-in intelligence to simplify the process of data protection, add the flexibility required to keep up with new technology, and keep data safe. That’s where Spectra Logic’s BlueScale environment comes in.

Spectra Logic data backup solutions are data’s safety net, providing long-term data protection, compliance, and business continuance. Given Spectra’s history of innovation, Spectra Logic has created the smartest backup solutions, for the smartest data protection. That intelligence now has a name: The BlueScale Environment.

The BlueScale Environment is a software solution, built into Spectra Logic products, that permits the libraries and other backup products to work simply, flexibly, and safely with your data. This environment has been under development at Spectra Logic since 1994, and has the accumulated intelligence and field-tested design that only a decade of work can provide. At this point, the sophistication of BlueScale software supplies much-needed intelligence to data protection safety nets. From self-monitoring to simplifying overarching data center management, BlueScale features supply a tightly integrated structure that supports new technologies and requirements while safeguarding your data.
