Logic announced that
Argonne National Laboratory, a Department of Energy
National Laboratory, selected its enterprise-level T950 products for a
five-year, multiple-unit installation project. The
Spectra libraries will store and protect data sent to Argonne’s new
Chicago-based Leadership Computing Facility, which was purchased to
accommodate the Laboratory’s growth.
Argonne selected Spectra Logic
products after a detailed 12-month search and proposal review, and the
first product was installed this month. The eight-frame, 10,050-slot
Spectra T950 with LTO-4 tape drives and media was implemented as part
of a large, comprehensive project for complete data protection. The
Federal laboratory plans to install several more multiple-frame T950
units over the next five years.

"According to a recent ESG survey,
54 percent of Federal Government agencies cited ‘keeping pace with the
capacity of data to protect’ as one of their top data protection
challenges,” said Heidi Biggar, analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group.
“Spectra Logic’s T950 allows government entities such as Argonne
National Laboratory to accommodate rapidly expanding growth rates
easily and cost-effectively."

The Spectra T950 expands up to eight
frames, which provides 16.08 PB storage capacity and scales up to
10,050 slots. The unit can incorporate RXT disk with tape in a single
frame, be configured as a VTL and has integrated AES-256 encryption
with compression capability and complete key management software.

“The Argonne National Laboratory
award marks Spectra Logic’s first multiple 10,000 slot contract within
the Department of Energy system,” said Brian Grainger, VP of Spectra
Logic Federal. “This contract is another significant accomplishment for
Spectra Logic Federal and its goal to support more enterprise-class
Federal opportunities.”
