Purchasing CoD

CoD is a capacity on demand feature that allows customers to activate additional capacity in their tape library as their storage needs grow. Spectra Logic’s CoD eliminates the need to estimate data growth curves and future storage needs, saving time and money.

With CoD, customers initially purchase a tape library fully populated, but only use and pay for what their current backup needs require. When ready to increase storage needs, customers purchase 15 slot packages that are one and a half terabytes of storage. The upgrade process that used to take weeks, now takes minutes, and customers pay as their storage needs grow.
