3 ABSTRACT To remain competitive and thrive in an on-demand society, media and entertainment organizations must embrace efficiency, employ workflow solutions that are agile and extensible to change, and adapt to the shift to digital-based systems -- including IP-based storage. Modern storage solutions provide these entities with ongoing value, openness, and efficiency, as well as the ultimate control over their digital content. A key feature employed by Spectra s BlackPearl Converged Storage System is the ability to provide companies with the openness and flexibility to step outside of the mainstream box, to create their own unique application and choose the ultimate mix of storage tiers that best suit their business needs, allowing them to balance the speed of access with the cost of storage. The Spectra Logic BlackPearl Converged Storage System provides media and entertainment entities with an easy, cloud-like interface to on-premise storage solutions, including Spectra tape and disk libraries, and multiple public cloud integrations for offsite storage. The cloud interface is called Spectra S3 and is an extension of the industry-standard S3 Simple Storage Service protocol. A software client is required to transfer data to this Spectra S3 interface. Many Spectra S3 clients already exist, with full integration into Media Asset Management systems. Customers also have the ability to create their own clients, or modify existing clients to create the solution perfectly customized for their workflows and environments. The Spectra Developer Program website provides all the tools needed to build a Spectra S3 client, or Customer Created Client (CCC), including a BlackPearl simulator, sample clients, software development kits, and documentation. All of these tools are freely downloadable and most are open source and backed by a variety of users in our Spectra GitHub community. INTRODUCTION For media and entertainment organizations, content is growing exponentially, and the video that they store is the lifeblood of their business. These organizations must be able to store this data for months or years on a reliable and affordable storage medium. Archive storage media, such as LTO tape and RAID-protected disk, are the most common secondary storage choices utilized to meet these requirements. Traditionally, moving content to tape media in tape libraries has been complex, requiring hierarchical software managers (also known as HSM s or middleware) that communicate directly with the tape drives in the library to pass content between storage tiers, and make it accessible. Cloud interfaces, like Simple Storage Service (S3), have streamlined the process, making it even easier to move content to storage using simple HTTP commands. Spectra Logic's BlackPearl Converged Storage System, a 2U or 4U hardware appliance, provides a cloud interface to Spectra disk and tape libraries as well as public cloud - making it easier than ever to store data on low-cost, reliable tiers of storage. BlackPearl automatically takes care of data caching, recording the object metadata in an internal database, and controlling the disk and tape systems it uses as targets. The simple S3-like front-end API, called Spectra S3, allows users to focus on the simplicity of storing and retrieving their digital media. Spectra S3 utilizes the standard HTTP S3 command set plus additional commands specifically designed to optimize the transport of data objects to and from tape. BlackPearl Customer Created Clients for Media & Entertainment Using Free & Open Source Tools 3

4 The first of these additional operations is called START BULK PUT. It is an HTTP PUT operation that provides the BlackPearl solution with information about the objects that the client wants to send as a single job for storing on tape. The CREATE BULK GET command is sent with a payload that is made up of a list of object names and corresponding object sizes. The response to the Create Bulk Put command is a specifically ordered list of how the BlackPearl solution wants those files (objects) sent. See Processing a Bulk Put Job and Create Bulk Put for details. This information allows the BlackPearl solution to plan the initial storage of the objects in its cache, and how it will store the data on tape, maximizing efficient use of space in the repository. The second command is called CREATE BULK GET. The CREATE BULK GET command is actually an HTTP PUT command because it too contains a payload for the BlackPearl solution. This payload is a list of objects that the client wants to get from the BlackPearl solution. It is not necessary for the request payload to contain the size of the files because the BlackPearl solution already knows the sizes of the objects (files). The response to the request is again an ordered list of the objects and information about the objects, including if they are already in the cache and ready to be retrieved from cache by a GET command. Spectra Logic has created a Developer Program to make it easy for developers to create clients to interface with BlackPearl. The Developer Program, which can be found at includes all the necessary components to build a Customer Created Client (CCC). The components are freely available for download, and most are open source. Developers can see the source code of these components, which allows them to customize the components for their specific storage workflow needs. These customizations can also be given back to the developer community through the use of our GitHub site, allowing developers to share advances with others in the BlackPearl Developer community, peer-review new features and reliability and promote collaborative innovation and agile improvement of the software. Figure 1. The Spectra Logic Developer Program website at developer.spectralogic.com BlackPearl Customer Created Clients for Media & Entertainment Using Free & Open Source Tools 4

5 BULDING A CUSTOMER CREATED CLIENT BlackPearl Simulator To enable both development and test, developers first need to download and install the BlackPearl simulator. The simulator allows full interaction with a virtual BlackPearl system including interaction with the web interface, allowing clients to read and write data to it, and monitoring job processes. The simulator runs as a virtual machine on a local computer, giving users the ability to evaluate the system prior to making an investment. Figure 2. The BlackPearl Simulator Once running, the BlackPearl simulator can be accessed via its web interface at the IP address shown on the simulator screen. The web interface must be accessed via https. Figure 3. The BlackPearl web interface, showing buckets BlackPearl Customer Created Clients for Media & Entertainment Using Free & Open Source Tools 5

6 Eon Browser Once the BlackPearl simulator is up and running, developers can download one of the existing Spectra S3 clients. This will help them to better understand how BlackPearl works. There are several existing clients available. We recommend starting with the Eon Browser. The Eon Browser is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Developers can also view the source code for the Eon Browser, which was created by Spectra Logic using our Java Software Development Kit (SDK). Figure 3. The Eon Browser (formerly Spectra S3 Browser) The Eon Browser is similar to a drag-and-drop, FTP-type client. The left side represents the user's local computer and the right side represents BlackPearl. Note that standard practice is to use the filename including the entire path with the folder delineators / included in the string as the object name. The Eon Browser interprets these as an object name. In this manner, a graphical representation of the object organization can be displayed as if it were a file structure even though the object structure is flat. When browsing the objects on the right, the user is actually just browsing the metadata within BlackPearl. Tapes are not actually mounted until an archive or restore command is issued. Users can drag a folder or file from their local computer to one of the buckets on BlackPearl. A bucket is a toplevel storage container in an object storage architecture. Developers can go into the BlackPearl web interface to confirm that the object was moved to the bucket. Users can also use the Eon Browser to move files and folders from BlackPearl back to their local computer. BlackPearl Customer Created Clients for Media & Entertainment Using Free & Open Source Tools 6

7 The Eon Browser can be used in manual workflow instances where movement of files to BlackPearl can be done in real-time by users or administrators. It is also useful for retrieving files from BlackPearl that were moved to BlackPearl by another application or automated script. Eon Browser can also be useful for understanding how BlackPearl works and can be used to manage data prior to a full client implementation. While many customers use the Eon Browser as a short-term solution to enable the BlackPearl environment in their existing workflow while they develop a fully integrated S3 client into their application, some customers are applying the Eon Browser as the permanent method to manually move data in and out of tiers of storage. Many creative services groups use a multitude of tools for after-effects, modeling, animation, motion graphics, etc., and each tool creates a wide array of file types, codecs, and sizes. These creative assets rarely fit into the production workflow and often go unmanaged and unprotected. Original captured content often falls into the same category as non-managed assets. Users in creative services groups need a solution that manages and protects their assets, providing a simple and intuitive way to retrieve them for both ongoing and future projects. BlackPearl Eon Browser, provides creative users with a simple tool that not only stores assets, but also allows users to search and bring back files quickly. Its intuitive graphical interface facilitates the management and transfer of digital assets between any production storage or network share and the BlackPearl storage platform. With drag-and-drop ease, Eon Browser enables artists, editors and creators to search, select, group, archive, and restore their valuable assets. The Eon Browser was written using Java and, therefore, will run on many platforms including Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Spectra Logic provides pre-compiled versions of the Eon Browser for Windows, Mac and Linux, and users can also compile their own version. JAVA COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE A Java-based Command-Line Interface (CLI) client is also available for download. The Java CLI allows users to issue common commands to the BlackPearl, such as GET and PUT, using a command-line interface on Windows, Mac, or Linux. The Java CLI is commonly used with cron jobs or scheduled tasks to move files to BlackPearl on a periodic basis. Figure 5. The Java Command-Line Interface (CLI) BlackPearl Customer Created Clients for Media & Entertainment Using Free & Open Source Tools 7

8 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KITS Once developers have seen a sample client in action, they can start building their own client. Spectra Logic has a number of Software Development Kits (SDK) available in several programming languages to make client development easy. Developers can obtain the SDKs on the Downloads page of developer.spectralogic.com as well as example code that can be used in the development of their own Spectra S3 client application. The SDKs provide classes and methods for the most common Spectra S3 commands, as well as helper applications that fully implement more complex S3 interface functions. Figure 6. Developing a.net Spectra S3 client in Microsoft Visual Studio using the C# SDK The Documentation page on the Developer website provides assistance with installation of the SDK in the developer's development environment. There is also a full set of documentation and sample code for each SDK. GETTING HELP If developers need help or have any problems, they can use the Forums on the Developer website to receive help from Spectra s Engineering and Product Management teams. Developers will need a Google account to post to the Forums. CERTIFICATION Client developers can request remote access to the Spectra Logic Test Lab located in the Spectra Logic Boulder, Colorado Headquarters by contacting the Developer Program Team. Customer Created Clients (CCC) can then be installed and tested against a BlackPearl connected to a Spectra tape library. A certification test plan is required to meet certain performance metrics to achieve Spectra BlackPearl Certification. Upon completion, test results BlackPearl Customer Created Clients for Media & Entertainment Using Free & Open Source Tools 8

9 are submitted to Spectra Logic for review. Any failed tests must be addressed in the CCC and retested until passing the certification specifications. Spectra Logic recommends using the certification program to ensure a fully functioning, well-performing client. CCC USE CASES The University of Georgia worked with Spectra Logic to implement a disaster recovery archive strategy, to assure their library content would be protected and preserved forever. They installed two Spectra T50e Tape Libraries, a Spectra BlackPearl Converged Storage System, and a Spectra ArcticBlue Disk Solution. Using Spectra s S3 client developer tools, the University was able to create their own Customer Created Client (CCC) with the BlackPearl Application Program Interface (API), allowing them to issue unique commands to their BlackPearl Converged Storage System. Additionally, BlackPearl s sophisticated Advanced Bucket Management (ABM) policy enables the University to write content to three different storage targets simultaneously, genetically diversifying its data. BlackPearl writes one disaster recovery copy of data to the University s offsite T50e tape library and one copy of data to its ArcticBlue disk solution. ArcticBlue provided a middle ground between their tier one storage and archive for their digital assets. It allows for the fast recall of digital assets when needed, at an attractive price point due to its spin-down drive technology. Utilizing a mix of storage mediums across different locations allows the University to not only protect its data from disaster, but to also make smart tradeoffs between speed of access and overall cost of storage. They are able to store data that needs to be accessed more quickly and frequently to ArcticBlue, and move data that needs to be accessed less often to tape. The University also utilizes their new Spectra solution to backup administrative data. Previously, they had been using a Quantum SuperLoader for administrative backups, but sought a system that was more efficient. Now, they perform incremental backups daily and full backups of over 40TB weekly, to their onsite Spectra T50e tape library. BlackPearl Customer Created Clients for Media & Entertainment Using Free & Open Source Tools 9

10 CCC USE CASES ITV already operated three Spectra tape libraries at other locations throughout the UK. Therefore, they knew that Spectra Logic was a company that could be trusted and that offered high-quality products and support. They selected two Spectra T950 Tape Libraries and two Spectra BlackPearl Converged Storage Systems and implemented their own Customer Created Client (CCC) to preserve their content at two geographically dispersed locations on differing media types, which is becoming an increasingly popular standard in long-term preservation archives. They are currently utilizing Spectra products at two different locations: Greenwich and Leeds. At Greenwich, ITV has a BlackPearl and a dual frame T950 with five IBM TS1150 drives; and at Leeds, the television network employs a BlackPearl and a four-frame T950 with six LTO-7 tape drives. Several creative departments within ITV simultaneously move content to and from the organization s preservation archive automatically via BlackPearl using multiple integrated partner applications and a CCC, as well as manually via Spectra s BlackPearl Eon Browser. ITV also expects to deploy multiple new MAM clients throughout several workflows in the future - made possible with BlackPearl s multi-tenancy capability. These Spectra certified MAM clients will write content to one location. BlackPearl will replicate that content automatically to a second location through its Advanced Bucket Management feature. Spectra Logic s archive solution allows ITV to streamline their digital workflow, eliminating costly middleware and simplifying the management of their assets. Through the use of Spectra s certified media and media health reports, ITV can rest assured knowing that their video program content is always safe and secure. Spectra s solution has ticked all of the boxes on ITV s list, providing a simple, affordable and easy-to-use design that is purpose-built to meet their organization s needs.

11 CONCLUSION The Spectra BlackPearl Converged Storage System provides an S3-like interface to Spectra Logic disk and tape libraries, as well as multiple public clouds. This modern approach to storage grants media and entertainment businesses the openness needed to create a unique workflow in their environment. The Spectra Logic Developer Program website provides all the necessary tools to begin creating a BlackPearl CCC. The simulator, sample clients, SDKs, and documentation are all freely available for anyone to use to start creating a CCC. While building a CCC directly into your application may be the end goal, Spectra s BlackPearl Eon Browser also provides an immediate ability to move data in and out of storage using a simple graphical user interface and intuitive drag-and-drop methodology. This provides a simple way to immediately begin using object storage and a tool for monitoring and administering the object database.
