Geyser Data & Spectra Logic Announce Tape as a Service Data Solution

According to Channel Insider, Geyser Data and Spectra Logic are helping redefine long-term data storage through Tape-as-a-Service, a cloud-delivered model that blends the economics and durability of tape with the simplicity of subscription-based consumption. The approach addresses a growing challenge for organizations facing rapid data growth, compliance demands, and rising cloud archive costs.

Tape-as-a-Service allows businesses to store massive volumes of cold data without purchasing, operating, or maintaining tape libraries. Instead, customers access S3-compatible archive storage with predictable pricing and no restore or egress fees, removing one of the biggest barriers associated with traditional cloud cold storage services. Security is strengthened through dedicated tapes, true air-gapped isolation, and customer-controlled encryption, reducing exposure to ransomware and other cyber threats.

Channel Insider highlights how the partnership leverages Spectra Logic’s tape technology alongside Geyser Data’s cloud software to deliver a scalable, sustainable archive platform. Together, they offer enterprises, MSPs, and partners a practical alternative for long-term backup, archive, and AI-related data retention needs.
