Televisión de Puebla in Mexico Chooses Spectra Logic StorCycle

Spectra Logic Corporation announced that its StorCycle storage lifecycle management software has been deployed by Televisión de Puebla, the public TV network of the Mexican state of Puebla, to strengthen its ability to protect and preserve its cultural heritage content.

As the public TV network of Puebla, Televisión de Puebla promotes educational, economic, social and cultural content through TV programming. Public TV networks of Televisión de Puebla cover almost 40% of the state’s population and aims to address the needs, expectations and lifestyles of Puebla citizens.

Televisión de Puebla began the search for a reliable storage solution that could digitally and intelligently archive and preserve their cultural heritage, while facilitating the complex administration of their expanding amounts of stored data. Through Comtelsat, a Mexican broadcast solutions integrator, Televisión de Puebla selected Spectra Logic to provide a solution, consisting of Spectra StorCycle storage lifecycle management software, BlackPearl, an object storage platform, and Spectra Stack, a compact tape library.

“StorCycle presented the perfect way to simplify our storage management, automating the workflow for data archive and protection while providing familiar access,” said Televisión de Puebla. “Our goal was to free up space on primary storage by moving unused data to an archive infrastructure and StorCycle seamlessly enabled that.“

StorCycle identifies cold data residing on the organization’s primary storage and migrates it to a secure perpetual tier, which includes any combination of cloud storage, object storage disk, NAS and object storage tape. The BlackPearl object storage platform provides a portal to these storage targets, writing the data to tape in an open standard format. All data sent to tape are encrypted at rest, providing an extra layer of protection for the assets of Televisión de Puebla.

The new solution from Spectra allows the organization to add more tape drives and slots to the Spectra Stack Tape Library as their archive grows. The overall solution frees up space on primary storage by moving unused data to the archive infrastructure so they can continue to preserve and protect their treasured Puebla cultural heritage long term.
