Spectra Logic Corporation is a computer data storage company based in Boulder, Colorado in the United States. The company builds backup and archive solutions for secondary storage to protect data after it migrates from primary disk. Spectra Logic's primary product is tape libraries. The company was founded in 1979, and is a privately held company. == History== Spectra Logic was founded in 1979 by Nathan C. Thompson in his apartment while he was an engineering student at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Thompson is currently the Chairman and CEO of the company. The company was the first to automate Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) magnetic tape in a robotic autoloader (tape library), and was also the first tape library vendor to implement the iSCSI networking protocol in its products. Spectra Logic was again first when it released a tape library with integrated hardware-based data encryption. Spectra's TFinity tape library was introduced in November 2009, offering 99.9% reliability and scaling to 180 petabytes of storage capacity in an LTO-5 configuration. In December 2010, Spectra's tape library product line won first place in all 14 categories of ''Storage'' magazine/SearchStorage.com's 2010 Quality Awards for enterprise and midrange tape libraries. Spectra Logic again earned top honors in the 2012 ''Storage'' magazine/SearchStorage.com's Quality Awards, winning both the enterprise and midrange tape library categories. In May 2012, DCIG, LLC released a Tape Library Buyer's Guide, which evaluated over 60 tape libraries from 8 storage vendors. Only the Spectra Logic TFinity and T950 received the highest "Best-in-Class" ranking. Also that month, Spectra Logic announced that it would provide Spectra TFinity tape libraries to the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) for their Blue Waters supercomputing system. The TFinity tape libraries will be able to store hundreds of petabytes of data and will be one of the world's largest active file repositories. Spectra Logic is a founding member of the Active Archive Alliance. Active Archive is a method of tiered storage which gives the user access to data across a virtualized file system that migrates data between multiple storage systems. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spectra Logic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
