Spectra Logic, celebrating more than 30 years of data storage innovation, announced today that it is a joint sponsor of theUK Storage Awards, “The Storries”. The data storage industry’s most outstanding products, services and people, as selected by Storage magazine readers’ votes, will be recognised at the event in London on June 23.

The Spectra® T-Finity library was named a finalist in “The Storries” Tape-based Product of the Year category. Spectra’s T-Finity is the data storage industry’s highest capacity tape library, scaling to more than 30,000 slots without requiring a pass-through mechanism. When joining multiple libraries into a library complex, T-Finity scales up to 740PB capacity. T-Finity offers the greatest slot density, strongest data integrity verification feature set and most comprehensive, easy-to-operate multiple-library management interface of any enterprise-class tape library on the market today.

“The Spectra T-Finity tape library delivers the most efficient and densely packed archive and backup solution available today, and our T-Series libraries’ strong adoption across Europe is evident based on this award nomination,” said Molly Rector, Spectra Logic's vice president of worldwide marketing and product management. “The European market can expect to see a burst of activity from Spectra Logic in the next 12 to 18 months, including product enhancements, corporate program launches, and staffing increases including new company positions.”

The eighth annual UK Storage Awards ceremony will be held on 23 June 2011, at The Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden in London
