nTier Archive and Backup Servers
Spectra Logic nTier archive and backup servers are a complete solution designed
specifically to meet your data archive, backup and retrieval requirements. nTier
connects seamlessly with tape libraries, providing a complete platform for
archiving and backing up data to disk and to tape.
The nTier servers support NFS/CIFS file systems and multiple optional
applications. With flexible file system support, you can assign a disk partition to its
own network drive letter and display NFS/CIFS data in the standard drive directory
structure. Along with NFS/CIFS, nTier offers a wide range of archive and backup
applications. Select only the applications you need; if you need more applications
later, you can easily add them.
The nTier product family combines Spectra Logic’s RAID 6 protected disk array
with powerful processors and an open operating system – all in a compact unit.
Because organizational needs often differ, the nTier solution lets you choose
which of a variety of software features to use, including;
NFS/CIFS
Disk-based backup
Master/Media Server
Tiered Storage Services (HSM)
Snapshot (Microsoft DPM 2007) Spectra Encryption
