To address the dramatic growth in data creation and consumption, Seagate has announced a series of significant product updates that support its mission to lead the world in storing, sharing and protecting data.
Amongst the releases is a new Cloud Systems and Solutions group (CSS), which will deliver the world’s most scalable, secure, and efficient Cloud service architectures and solutions.
Along with the new CSS launch, Seagate has also unveiled the company’s eighth-generation enterprise hard drive portfolio and expanded PCIe Flash Accelerator Cards. 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.
The Seagate ClusterStor 9000 solution, available today, 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. Delivering superior converged scale-out storage quality and performance efficiency, the ClusterStor 9000 solution delivers 50% higher performance than previous ClusterStor platforms.
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. The architectural flexibility inherent to the Seagate appliances makes them perfect for heterogeneous environments demanding up to a full petabyte of data storage and extreme computing power.
All mission critical drives now feature Seagate’s TurboBoost enhanced caching technology establishing the benchmark as the world’s fastest hard drives. All enterprise drive families are now integrated with the latest in SAS technology, offering scalable 12Gbps throughput to and from the host.The new drives offer enhanced storage capabilities like Seagate Secure self-encrypting drive technology, Instant Secure Erase functionality for easy drive retirement, PowerChoice on-demand power savings, RAID Rebuild for faster rebuilds – all to improve IT capabilities that allow IT managers to deploy and maintain efficient storage systems in the most demanding environments and workloads throughout their lifecycle.
Ideal for IT managers and cloud builders alike, this new line of enterprise drives are engineered to meet the boundless need for high performance, high-capacity, reliable drives that in turn enable them to address today’s never-ending explosive growth of data. Coupled with Seagate’s new TurboBoost enhanced caching technology, system builders are now empowered to deliver a far more responsive, productive and versatile storage system for their customers.
The new Nytro XP6302 card delivers high PCIe flash capacity with competitive performance characteristics in a half-height form factor. The Nytro XP6302 is designed for optimal density and for graceful performance scaling for high thread count and queue depth workloads. The second expansion to the Nytro portfolio the XP6209 card adds a new 1.86Tb capacity point doubling the capacity.
The new 1.86Tb SKU addresses customers’ needs for increased capacity density in low-profile and thermally optimised hyper-converged designs.
