Why BlackPearl?
Storing data is a challenge. Storing data affordably, securely and with greater protection than ever before may be an organization’s single greatest hurdle. In this era of preserving data for long-term usage, see how BlackPearl Object Storage Tape is helping to pave the way.
Perpetual Tier
BlackPearl Object Storage Tape is one of the cornerstones for the Perpetual Tier of storage. Tape storage provides lasting protection for data archived within the Perpetual Tier. Through Spectra’s BlackPearl software features, managing data on tape libraries is now a simple choice.
Storage Solution
The BlackPearl object storage solution is a flexible data repository architected for today’s data centers. When combined with purpose-built clients and an end user data management portal, users are provided a complete end-to-end solution.
Workflow & Use Cases
Data can be placed into a BlackPearl data repository via several different paths or workflows, and through multiple concurrent applications. A manual workflow use case allows the end-user to identify the files to be moved themselves. Advanced scanning software applications can scan a file system and identify files to be moved based on user defined parameters (or policies). When a fully automated archiving software tool is used, an organization’s data can continuously be scanned and managed while seamlessly enabling users to access the files as they always have. Applications that are intended for other specific tasks, such as video asset management, can allow users to interact directly with the BlackPearl repository without leaving the application.
Sizing & TCO
With BlackPearl’s product family, organizations will find the perfect fit for their workflow.

BlackPearl Object Storage Tape provides the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) for a modern object storage repository while providing the highest throughput via a single server system. With the ability to expand to any capacity, BlackPearl Object Storage Tape is the perfect addition to any workflow looking to reduce costs and keep pace with the growing amounts of data being generated in a modern workflow.
High Availability
Protecting data is the primary goal for a storage system. With BlackPearl, there are many ways to increase protection and a few ways to add High Availability to help overcome any temporary issues, outages, or maintenance. While Tape is the safest place to store data, having a second copy of data (or even more copies) amplifies the durability of the data even more. Storing that additional copy in another location, creates geographic separation with dual site capability. With BlackPearl replication, both sites can be actively used for reads and writes, and replication to the cloud can be used for read-only workflows like content distribution, transcoding, AI, or disaster recovery.
