Whether you need to protect the valuable information on your Windows servers or just need a resource to stage data for quick disk-based recovery, the nTier500 can adapt and go to work right away. What's more, the nTier500 can conveniently be managed with our trusted BlueScale interface – the same powerful interface that operates our flagship T-Series tape libraries.

The Spectra nTier500 Backup and Archive appliance enables you to backup and protect your data any way that your organization requires. A single nTier appliance gives you the ability to host multiple applications, backup to disk and satisfies all of your current and future storage needs. Compatible with a wide variety of data protection and backup applications, nTier uses an innovative and powerful hardware platform that streamlines your entire backup and archive environment. It can be configured as a network attached storage appliance acting as a disk target for staging data and its integrated server runs your preferred ISV backup package. Store data on the nTier500 needed on disk for 30, 60 or 90 days before archiving to tape. This solution permits data to be stored in the nTier500 NAS disk, then transferred via fast SCSI connection directly to the tape library for long-term archive.

However you use it, with the nTier500, your data is completely secure with customized RAID 6 protected disk arrays. The nTier500 permits very rapid data recovery and also can write data directly to a tape archive through the SCSI interface. This powerful storage appliance also offers 8 TB, 16 TB or 32 TB of raw storage and requires only a few inches (3U) of rack space.
