Data growth is extremely hard to forecast. Capacity on Demand (CoD) makes it easy to instantly add capacity to your library, when you need it. With CoD, you purchase your Spectra Logic tape library with exactly the number of tape slots enabled that you need at that time. You can later enable additional slots — in increments as small as ten — to increase the capacity of your tape library.

Immediately Increase Capacity

Slots can be made available incrementally through key activation, on-demand and instantaneously. You can purchase activation keys in advance or order them only as needed.

Efficiently Manage Data Growth

CoD allows you to closely match data growth curves while eliminating wasted time and resources. This mitigates the risks associated with unpredictable growth events such as acquisitions, mergers or a busy holiday season and helps you grow your data worry free; by adding the capacity you need, when you need it.

Eliminate Long-range Forecasting and Expensive Retrofits

Over purchasing storage capacity leaves you vulnerable to wasted capacity and strained cash flow. When capacity is over or under purchased it can potentially cause downtime from not anticipating capacity needs properly. CoD helps you meet demand for capacity instantaneously, efficiently, and cost-effectively to meet growing data storage needs.
