BlueScale Software

The Spectra T950's BlueScale software is the library's core intelligence, backed by ten generations of development and countless hours of development time. Its intelligence provides the Spectra T950 with current and future innovative features, such as free encryption with key management, media and hardware health monitoring, and remote camera monitoring.

Encryption and Backup

The Spectra T950 is the only library to offer encryption and key management as seamless, integrated standard features. Spectra's BlueScale Encryption utilizes AES-256 bit encryption through the library or LTO-4 and higher drives. It lets you seamlessly and affordably add encryption to your backup strategy, with no changes to backup policies and no additional hardware or software.

Media Lifecycle Management 

Spectra Logic helps you manage your tape media by giving you tools to proactively detect potential media errors well before they happen. Available only in Spectra Logic's T-Series libraries, Media Lifecycle Management records over 30 data points every time a tape is loaded, giving you vital statistical and diagnostic information that helps you proactively manage your tape media throughout its life.

By utilizing our Certified Media and BlueScale interface together, you can manage, track, and report all facets of tape usage from creation to retirement — all consolidated within the same application you use to manage your library.

BlueScale Vision™

Get an additional level of performance and health monitoring for your library by
visually monitoring the interior of your library with the web-based BlueScale Vision camera. BlueScale Vision allows you to remotely observe import/export operations, tape mounts, cartridge moves, and robotic operations—all in real time.
