The Spectra T24 is an entry level LTO tape library.
Spectra T24 Worry-Free, Budget-Friendly Backup
Back up data without worry, thanks to the Spectra T24 LTO library. The T24 lets you automate backup using proven, reliable HP LTO drives and tapes, without breaking the budget. With the T24 library, count on data backups running without your attention and time. You won’t have to handle every tape and start every backup process. The Spectra T24 library uses only 2U—a few inches—of rack space to support 24 LTO tapes and up to 2 HP LTO drives and 24 LTO tapes, storing up to 19.2 TB of compressed data.
The Spectra T24 is the affordable and complete backup and archive solution—arriving with one or two LTO drives, space for 24 tapes, and Backup Exec QuickStart software from Symantec. With the T24, you can jump from manual data backup and tape-handling to scheduled, automatic data backup that tracks data stored on tapes using the tape's bar code.
Easily Expand Capacity and Throughput
Upgrading is easy and makes your T24 investment useful for years to come. It’s easy to expand the library’s:
- Capacity
There's always more data, never less... so keeping up with capacity demands is a serious issue, and one the Spectra T24 library handles well. The library comes with all 24 slots enabled, ready to grow with your data at any time.
- Performance
If your data growth means that you have more data to backup in less time, simply add a second drive to backup data faster. The library supports up to two half-height LTO drives. It’s easy to add the second drive to improve backup performance.
- Capacity and performance with next generation drives and tape
The Spectra T24 library currently supports LTO-3 technology. As new generations of LTO drives and media become available, those will also be supported by the Spectra T24 library.
Automated, Efficient Data Backup and Recovery
With the T24 library, you can trust your library to handle data backup, giving you time to tackle other tasks. The T24 provides:
- Hands-off, worry-free data backup
Thanks to the T24’s efficient library robotics, bar-code reader, innate intelligence and easy implementation, you can schedule data backup to run automatically. The T24 is highly reliable, so that you can count on getting your data backed up on schedule.
- Easy installation and configuration
It takes less than an hour to install and set up the Spectra T24 library. Part of the reason the library is so easy to install and configure is that the Spectra T24 library is compatible with every major operating system (such as Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac, Novell, and more) and runs with all major backup packages along with the included QuickStart backup software.
