Intending to address the dramatic growth in data creation and consumption, Seagate Technology has announced several significant product updates that support its mission to lead the world in storing, sharing and protecting the world’s data. The company has also announced its new Cloud Systems and Solutions group (CSS), which will deliver scalable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective Cloud service architectures and solutions. Seagate is now the first company to deliver hard drives, solid-state hybrid drives, SSDs, external storage solutions, recovery services, cloud services and fully integrated cloud systems and solutions.
Data growth today and predicted for future is astounding. Research from IDC estimates that the overall amount of data created, replicated and consumed all across the United States alone will hit 44 zettabytes by 2020, whereas today that number is only 4.4 zettabytes. With the massive build out of cloud services, mobile applications, open-source computing and social networks, the world is creating and relying on data like never before, and Seagate is designing the products and services to help the world manage its data pool.
Seagate’s CSS product update will include offerings in four focus areas: Integrated High-Performance Computing solutions, Scalable, modular components and solutions, Custom systems for OEMs and Cloud Backup/Restore, Disaster Recovery and Rapid Archive Storage solutions. Seagate will drive the industry’s ability to manage hyperscale computing demands, improve energy efficiency, and enhance everywhere availability of data.
The Seagate ClusterStor 9000 solution is a fully integrated Lustre-based scale-out solution designed for HPC and Big Data customers who need to reliably plan, deploy and sustain maximum optimal application performance. The new Seagate EVault Enterprise Backup and Recovery Appliance now accommodates up to 100TB of usable capacity. Seagate’s large portfolio of backup and recovery appliances have been built from the ground up to both connect and replicate to the cloud.
