The combined solution gives customers maximum flexibility in their infrastructure choices with the least impact to users, applications and IT staff.”Ĭlick here to read the Spectra Logic/StrongBox Data Solutions joint solution brief. “We chose to partner with Spectra Logic because its BlackPearl Converged Storage System is an ideal platform to simplify the addition of object storage and tape into any storage environment.

“The direct integration of BlackPearl into StrongLink’s metadata-powered policy framework reduces the complexity of managing cloud and on-premise storage, and supports the lowest cost storage options for our customers,” said Floyd Christofferson, SVP Products, StrongBox Data Solutions.

Users can even create custom metadata dynamically to further organize their data, with no database expertise required. Tape storage appears as another storage resource within the global namespace via SMB/NFS/S3 file protocols, in addition to API and StrongLink user interfaces. The combined solution offers data copy management for disaster recovery and remote collaboration. Customers can automate tasks such as two data copy minimums or replication to tape, cloud or offsite locations. When using BlackPearl with BlackPearl with StrongLink software, data protection policies are completely configurable according to data type and/or metadata triggers. “The joint solution simplifies data lifecycle management, and enables customers to easily move data off primary storage to economical tape or disk-based storage, without disrupting their existing workflow.” “When integrated with Spectra’s BlackPearl, StrongLink allows customers to introduce multiple storage solutions without creating new silos, and gives them global control of data and all of their storage resources,” said Brian Grainger, CSO, Spectra Logic. StrongLink combined with BlackPearl enables a policy-based fabric that simplifies complex workflows and automates data protection and seamless migration across cloud, disk, and tape storage in a way not previously possible. This lets customers simplify their storage environment with single-pane-of-glass storage management, and break out of storage silos while dramatically increasing return on investment of existing storage resources.

Unlike other systems, StrongLink leverages the power of metadata to provide true cross-platform automation across any file system or storage solution. The joint solution delivers a policy-based global namespace to automate archiving, migration and global workflows that simplifies management of data across any storage platform, including Spectra’s tape storage.
