Tennis Channel has selected Selects Spectra to store and protect its video footage. Spectra Logic has a capacity of T950 robotic tape library with six LTO-4 drives and 950 activated slots to store and protect 50TB, or 946 hours of video footage and Tennis Channel has now storage platform that automates tape handling and supports growing backup data sets at much faster speeds.
Tennis Channel partitions the Spectra T950 into two virtual tape libraries, and conducts a full backup on weekends, with incremental backups on weekdays. The first, enterprise partition uses Symantec to backup the Windows environment including all servers and the share drives using the two LTO-4 drives. The second XSAN partition uses BakBone NetVault software to back up Apple environment data, including all the data in the edit bays for production, promo and the graphic department using four LTO-4 drives.
Dean Hadaegh, Chief technology officer and senior vice president of technical operations for Tennis Channel said in a statement “We chose Spectra Logic over competing data tape libraries due to its known reliability, ease in adding slots and drives strong customer service reputation and reasonable pricing. Ourprevious single-drive archival storage was too slow and did not offer adequate capacity or room for growth. Spectra Logic helps us meet our nine-hour backup window, and the removable TeraPacks make it easy to rotate data offsite for archival as needed.”
