Cleversafe and Spectra Logic in Partnership

Cleversafe Inc. announced a technology partnership with Spectra Logic Corporation.

Through the partnership, customers gain the value storage solution with Cleversafe’s disk-based storage platform supporting nearline and online activities, alongside Spectra Logic’s tape solutions for long term retention.

"Spectra Logic and Cleversafe both have innovative solutions that perfectly complement each other, providing a greater value and well-rounded solution for our joint customers," said Molly Rector, vice president of Worldwide Marketing for Spectra Logic. "Cleversafe is a natural fit for our tape library solution since it allows for seamless and transparent data integration for our customers. Our partnership will make data migration easier, cost-effective and more secure."

The Cleversafe storage platform provides a target for Spectra Logics’ tape library solution. Stored data will migrate from Cleversafe’s storage platform to Spectra Logic’s tape library, allowing data integration to be flawless for the customer. This combined solution helps eliminate the difficulties and inconsistencies arising from manual data migration which typically results in data corruption and loss.

"Cleversafe is committed to partner with leading technology companies like Spectra Logic to provide our customers with the best storage solution available," said Chris Gladwin, president and CEO of Cleversafe. "With Cleversafe’s reputation as a secure, reliable and cost-effective storage solution, and Spectra Logic’s industry leading back-end tape repository solution, this partnership combines the best qualities of both companies."

Cleversafe’s storage platform is able to scale to petabytes, has inherent data security, is 100 million times more reliable than RAID and eliminates the cost penalty associated with RAID and replication. By combining Cleversafe’s solution with Spectra Logic’s data protection and backup solutions through tape backup, customers will be offered a storage archive and business continuity solution.
