Spectra Logic announces partnership with Veeam Software

The service offerings, available for Spectra Logic T-Series tape libraries, Spectra® nTier Verde disk appliance and combined Veeam Availability SuiteTM v8, creates a unique approach to addressing exponential data growth in the modern data centre.

“When working with deep data storage, many organisations face the same data protection challenges regardless of their size, including meeting virtual workload demands and getting offsite backups for disaster recovery purposes,” said Spectra Logic’s CTO, Matt Starr. “With this new partnership, Spectra Logic and Veeam are able to provide a seamless solution, combining the best in archival storage with the best in backup and recovery to protect data efficiently, securely and affordably.”

The Spectra Logic and Veeam collaboration provides an alternative to existing solutions in the marketplace and provides another option when evaluating a backup environment. Now data applications are available to all stakeholders every minute of every day. Companies can avoid data loss by enabling recovery time and point objectives (RTPO™) of less than 15 minutes for all data and applications and can facilitate offsite data protection. Combining Spectra Logic T-Series tape libraries and Spectra nTier Verde disk appliance with Veeam Availability Suite v8 supports the 3-2-1 Backup Rule by, keeping three copies of your data on two types of media, and one copy offsite for disaster recovery purposes.

“As organisations modernise their infrastructures to deliver the Always-On Business™, Veeam continues to recommend the 3-2-1 rule to eliminate any single point of failure,” said Doug Hazelman, vice president of product strategy at Veeam. “The new Veeam Availability SuiteTM v8 will enable Spectra Logic to further alleviate customer pain points by integrating our availability solution with their storage offering, delivering an easy – to – use and reliable solution for getting backups off-site.”
