StorageTek T10000C Tape Drive

"Over the last 12 years, the LIGO project has generated three petabytes of data as a thousand scientists and engineers have worked to test Einstein’s theory of relativity and observe gravitational waves. With the scope of the project and our intent to keep the data in perpetuity, a robust, scalable and open storage solution is absolutely vital. Oracle’s StorageTek tape storage has been central to our archive and its latest generation StorageTek T10000C tape drives have enabled us to manage more data and promises to provide additional data protection for our data, while preparing for significant data growth going forward."

"At NERSC, our challenge is to figure out how to grow our data storage capacity exponentially without growing our budget exponentially. Oracle’s StorageTek T10000C tape drives deliver that combination, which is why we signed on as early adopters."

"From the beginning, Oracle technology has been critical to our mission to preserve the testimonies of Holocaust survivors and witnesses, and provide fast and easy access to these invaluable assets. Oracle’s StorageTek T10000C tape technology has enabled us to ensure 100% bit accuracy, archive five times more data in our existing footprint, and reduce the cost of maintaining these oral histories for generations to come."
