The LTO Show - CEO Series with Nelson Nahum, , Co-Founder and CEO , Geyser Data

On this episode, we interview the CEO of Geyser Data, Nelson Nahum. They're using tape storage technology to deliver all the benefits of cloud storage with none of the nasty fees.

The LTO Show - End User Series Part II Repatriating -10PB from Cloud to Tape

We're diving deep into a fascinating case study: what does it actually cost to pull 10 petabytes of data out of AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure and land it in a tape-backed object store that you own and operate? Cloud vendors love to tell us that cold storage is dirt cheap, but Carl's analysis reveals a very different story when you factor in the hidden costs—retrieval fees, egress charges, and that monthly rent you're paying forever. In this conversation, we break down the total cost of ownership over 5, 10, and 20-year horizons. We compare the major cloud cold storage tiers against a realistic on-premises tape library with disk cache, proper refresh cycles, and operational costs included. We also tackle the practical questions: When does repatriation actually make sense? What's the break-even point? How do you handle rehydration? And what about that egress fee—the half-million-dollar bill just to get your own data back?

The LTO Show - CEO Series Nathan Thompson Pt III

Welcome to The LTO Show—the premier podcast for leaders in the tape and storage industries. For Nathan Thompson, the focus wasn’t on growth at all costs, it was about building  a legacy. Give every employee, even entry-level workers, stock options. "It's probably the only time in their life they'll own something like that," Nathan says. Treat customers like decade-long partners, not one-time transactions. Stay private. Stay focused. And build something that lasts. The result? Spectralogic—a company that's remained 100% privately owned for over four decades, where employees share in the success they help create, and where customer relationships span generations.
