Spectra Logic and Geyser Data launch tape archive site in London, UK

Will offer "tape-as-a-service" from the location

April 08, 2026 By Georgia Butler 

Data management and storage company Spectra Logic has teamed up with cold data archive service provider Geyser Data to establish a tape archive location in London, UK.

From the site, the two will offer Tape Archive Platform-as-a-Service (TAPAS) via the Geyser Data portal to customers, marking the first European deployment for the companies.

The deployment will be housed within a Digital Realty facility. Digital Realty operates 13 data centers in and around London; however, the specific data center has not been named.

The two aim to target companies that have been seeking to move cold data to the cloud but find that it can come with unexpected costs associated with egress fees and data retrieval. Instead, the tape-powered archive Infrastructure-as-a-Service provides a cloud-based archive copy with predictable pricing.

Spectra Logic provides the tape library infrastructure and archive technologies, while Geyser Data handles the software and cloud platform, which gives customers access to archive storage through an Amazon S3-compatible interface.
