Introduction
About BullFrog™Architecture
The Spectra 10000 utilizes the BullFrog architecture for robotic tape libraries developed by
Spectra Logic. BullFrog architecture can be configured with 20 or 40 cartridges and up to four
tape drives. BullFrog architecture supports both SCSI-2 (Single-Ended and HVD) and Fibre
Channel interfaces. BullFrog architecture allows users to split a single Spectra 10000 into two
logical libraries, thus allowing the sharing of storage resources between different servers,
operating systems and software applications. BullFrog architecture offers an LCD touchscreen
user interface that provides access to status information, configuration parameters, and
diagnostics.
