Spectra Logic StorCycle
Storage Lifecycle Management Software.
Overview
Spectra StorCycle is a storage lifecycle management software designed to reduce the cost of primary storage. It scans primary storage to identify and migrate inactive files to a perpetual storage tier, which can include cloud, NAS, or tape libraries. This frees up capacity on expensive primary storage while ensuring data remains accessible. While not a full MAM, it's a critical tool for managing the archive lifecycle of media assets.
