Spectra Logic Brings Tape Technology Into The Modern Era
SiliconANGLE, Tuesday, July 1st, 2025
Tape drives might seem like old news, but according to Spectra Logic Corp., they're a part of the modern data solution. Now reaching its 25th anniversary, the company focuses on tape-based solutions with an eye toward current cloud and artificial intelligence-based trends.
'Tape is 75 years old,' said Mitch Seigle (pictured), chief marketing officer of Spectra Logic. 'It's had an incredibly long run, but it's far from archaic. It has actually gone through a transformation from most of its lifetime, where it required large organizations to be able to integrate it . we're now seeing different forms of object storage emerge from what was once disk-based to now things that are even based in flash and now ultimately in tape. What we've been focused on is building interfaces that front-end those libraries and take care of the abstraction.'
Seigle spoke with theCUBE's Christophe Bertrand at the Data Protection & AI Summit, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio.
