Partners Hyve and Wiwynn to Debut Kinetic Open
Storage-Enabled Systems at the Show
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today delivered two new development tools related to its
Kinetic Open Storage™ platform— the Seagate® Kinetic Ethernet Drive
interface and the Seagate Kinetic™ T-Card development adapter. Both
innovations, which have been accepted by the Open Compute
Foundation as important open standards available to Open Compute
Project (OCP) solution providers and system builders, will debut at
OCP Summit V.
“Seagate is committed to driving open source innovation and
empowering an active ecosystem of system builders and software
developers with the tools they need to deploy cutting-edge storage
solutions and drive this truly revolutionary platform,” said Mark
Re, Seagate’s chief technology officer. “A true game changer, the
Kinetic Open Storage platform will provide this community with the
ability to deliver innovative, first-of-their-kind, scale-out
storage architectures at the industry’s lowest total cost of
ownership.”
Building on its continued support of open source innovation,
Seagate is making its Ethernet Drive interface specification and
T-Card development adapter available to the Open Compute Project.
Both Seagate Kinetic drive connector specifications will enable the
OCP community to design, test, and deliver applications and system
designs built upon the Kinetic Open Storage platform providing an
easy, cost-effective path to object-based solution development at a
reduced time to market.
Strong Industry Support
“Seagate’s Kinetic technology has enabled us to further innovate
on top of the Open Compute Project system design and allows us to
increase storage density and reduce performance bottlenecks,” said
Steve Ichinaga, senior vice president and general manager for Hyve
Solutions. “This new open storage platform is another great example
of the innovations arising from the Open Compute Project community
allowing us to better address the needs of our scale-out storage
cloud customers.”
“Seagate has been a true world-class partner providing us with
best-in-class support as we develop cutting-edge systems based on
this truly ground-breaking platform— making this a win win for both
us and our customers,” said Dr. Sunlai Chang, CTO for Wiwynn.
New Seagate Kinetic Development Tools Debut
The Seagate Kinetic Ethernet Drive interface enables solution
providers to transition existing SAS or SATA based chassis designs
to systems by replacing conventional HDD SATA or SAS backplanes
with Ethernet backplanes. While the platform’s T-Card development
adapter enables software developers to write and pre-test
applications by communicating over the connectors to Kinetic Open
Storage hard drives. Both specifications are designed to conform to
the dimensions, specifications, power signal assignments, and
physical placement of industry standard SAS drives.
Announced in 2013, the Seagate Kinetic Open Storage platform is
a device-based open source platform that leverages a traditional
hard disk drive assembly, the key/value API, and Ethernet
connectivity to enable greater performance, scale, simplicity and a
lower TCO for scale-out storage architectures.
Starting today, solution provider partners Hyve and Wiwynn will
demonstrate prototype OCP systems based on the Kinetic Open Storage
platform at Open Compute Summit V in San Jose, California at booths
B7 and B5. Seagate will also present, “Kinetic Open Storage:
Enabling Breakthrough Economics in Scale-out Object Storage,” on
the main stage at 3:10 p.m. (PT) on Tuesday, January 28.
