Enabling partners and customers to benefit from
high-performance computing systems, build private and public clouds
with an Intelligent Information Infrastructure system
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) today announced it has
further strengthened its position as a trusted storage solutions
leader by delivering cloud systems and solutions for original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs), “do-it-yourself (DIY)” and other
organizations. Seagate is building on its position as a steward of
digital information, and its acquisitions of Xyratex and EVault, to
deliver an Intelligent Information Infrastructure system to help
organizations manage the massive growth in digital data and deliver
on next generation workloads.
“Industry research firm IDC estimates that the overall volume of
digital bits created, replicated, and consumed across the United
States alone will hit 44 zettabytes by 20201. That represents a
doubling of data volume every two years,” said Jamie Lerner,
President of Cloud Systems and Solutions at Seagate. “Organizations
are looking for cost-effective ways to harness data and create
actionable information. Seagate is bringing an open approach to the
Intelligent Information Infrastructure program. We are applying our
experience working with cloud service providers worldwide to create
systems and solutions that manage next generation workloads with
the scale, performance and economy aligned to business needs.”
Much of the data growth is in unstructured data. Industry
analyst firm IDC “estimates that in 2015, as far as enterprise disk
storage systems are concerned, unstructured data will surpass
structured data in terms of both capacity shipped and customer
revenue.”2 Industry analyst firm Gartner says “the explosion in
unstructured data, which is growing at 40% to 60% on a yearly basis
in most enterprises, has catapulted object storage as an
inexpensive, scalable, self-healing, multitenant platform for
storing petabytes of data.”3
Seagate Cloud Systems and Solutions has a growing number of
offerings in four areas:
- Integrated High-Performance
Computing solutions
Engineered for high-performance computing, Seagate’s HPC
solutions combine ultra dense data enclosures, operating system,
hardware controllers, and the Lustre® file system in a
consolidated, scale-out high-performance-computing platform. The
award-winning Seagate HPC solution removes the complexities
associated with deploying and maintaining traditional
high-performance systems yielding faster time to results, ease of
use and management, and world-class performance to meet
mission-critical needs.
- Scalable, modular components and
engineered solutions
Seagate provides Intelligent Information Infrastructure
solutions to meet the needs of “do-it-yourself (DIY)” organizations
that want to select components and build custom systems to fully
integrate solutions for object storage; these software independent
systems can meet the capacity and performance demands of next
generation workloads, including:
- Engineered solutions for object
storage
- Reference architectures for open source
and software defined storage
- Private cloud appliances for backup and
recovery
- Modular, scalable components for
DIY
- Custom, modularized systems for
OEMs
Seagate has provided over 2 million enclosures and 17,000
petabytes of storage for our OEM customers. Seagate’s open
Intelligent Information Infrastructure program provides private
label systems and components for vendors that want to deliver the
highest quality information infrastructure products to their
customers. Included among these offerings are:
- Drives (HDD, SSD, Hybrid)
- Data enclosures
- Embedded server modules
- Comprehensive solution partnership
based on customer requirements
- Cloud Backup/Restore, Disaster
Recovery and Rapid Archive Storage services
Seagate, EVault and its partners provide secure public cloud
solutions for organizations that need backup, disaster recovery or
active archive but do not want to own or maintain the
infrastructure. With over 25,000 cloud backup and recovery
customers, the Seagate cloud services ecosystem provides a large
breadth of backup, recovery, and rapid archive solutions for
organizations of all types and sizes. These include:
- Cloud Backup
- Cloud Disaster Recovery
- Rapid Archive
- Services (deployment, migration,
integration, performance tuning, upgrades, etc.)
