Geyser Data & Spectra Logic Announce Tape as a Service Data Solution
Summary
“Tape has a huge opportunity to innovate because no one really has in 20 years, but it is certainly not dead.” Geyser Data was only incorporated as a company in January 2024, but the vendor has already established their success in the archival and backup market. According to Nahum, Spectra Logic made sense as a strategic partner on this offering because of its expertise in building cloud platforms that properly store and manage information and its general support of Geyser Data’s mission and goals. By integrating Spectra Logic’s Tape Archive Platform-as-a-Service (TAPAS) with Geyser Data’s robust cloud software management platform, we’ve developed a solution that drives significant cost savings while also addressing critical power consumption challenges faced by data-intensive technologies such as AI and machine learning,” said Mitch Seigle, chief marketing officer of Spectra Logic, in a press release. The company will sell through the channel exclusively, and Nahum said his focus from the earliest days of development was on building reseller-friendly technology. “I want us to build true partnerships with the resellers and MSPs who will work with us to bring our products to the market.” Nahum said the company is excited about the opportunities available in 2025, particularly in global expansion, revenue development, and partner retention.
