IWM digitises vast collection in SpectraLogic tape archive
Summary
The move has allowed it to replace diverse, ageing and difficult to manage disk storage systems that included Nexsan Satabeast arrays. Currently IWM has about 550TB of data across the archive estate but the two tape libraries are expandable to tens of petabytes. Ian Crawford, IWM CIO, said use of the two tape format standards is to comply with international guidelines. Front-ending it all is a SpectraLogic Black Pearl Storage Gateway that sends data to the LTO and IBM tape format libraries. Crawford said his team evaluated tape libraries from HP and Overland among others but settled on SpectraLogic for a number of reasons.
