“Customers today need storage solutions to support a diverse, and
sometimes very specialized, set of applications and workload
requirements,” said Scott Horn, vice president of marketing at Seagate.
“In designing our products, we look closely at the type of data being
stored, performance needs, power requirements, environmental operating
conditions, network topologies, uptime demand and more, to ensure our
customers receive the right storage technology for the job. This
thoughtful approach has enabled us to deliver the most compelling 8TB
portfolio available in the industry.”
Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD— World-Class Reliability Meets
High-Capacity
Within the cloud and traditional enterprise markets, businesses need
high capacity and extremely reliable data storage solutions. Seagate’s
8TB Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD drive addresses these needs by
incorporating proven conventional magnetic recording hard drive
technology, backed by nine generations of data center innovation.
Enterprise customers also want world class performance from their
storage solutions and the 8TB Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD delivers for
them with a 100 percent increase in random read/write performance
compared to previous generations, driving a vast improvement in IT
performance across the enterprise.
“Supermicro’s wide array of SuperServer and SuperStorage solutions
deliver unrivaled performance, efficiency, density and reliability for
enterprise, data center, cloud and HPC environments,” said Don Clegg,
vice president of marketing and business development at Supermicro.
“With Seagate's new portfolio of 8TB 3.5” Enterprise and Kinetic HDD we
can cost-effectively address expanding web scale storage requirements
with the most advanced Green Computing platforms on the market.”
Enterprise NAS HDD— Enterprise Capacity Meets SMBs
Small- and medium-sized businesses require high reliability too, but
they also need storage solutions that can scale to support enterprise
class performance as business mandates change and the company grows.
Seagate’s 8TB Enterprise NAS HDD takes conventional hard drive recording
technology to the next level by providing one third more storage density
for any tower or rack mount solution compared to the previous 6TB
generation drive. This density advantage translates to fewer drives
without sacrificing capacity, reducing power consumption and saving
valuable space in servers and data centers to help improve IT cost
structures and service value to the organization.
Kinetic HDD— High-Capacity, Reduced Cloud Economics
For organizations making the transition to the cloud with an eye to
leveraging open source innovation, the 8TB Kinetic HDD focuses on total
cost of ownership (TCO) by emphasizing scaled-out storage and rapid
deployment in data centers. In cases where archiving data is a priority,
emerging technologies such as Shingled Magnetic Recording can be of
strategic and business value. Combined with the Kinetic Open Storage
platform, this storage solution can change the TCO equation.
“I am impressed by the disk capacity increase achieved by Seagate,”
said Dirk Duellmann, deputy leader of the data and storage services
group in the IT department at CERN. “As part of our collaboration
through CERN openlab, we are aiming to demonstrate with Seagate the
expected TCO and scalability benefits of Kinetic drives. These tests are
being performed within the 100PB-scale storage setups that CERN deploys
for the Large Hadron Collider.”
The platform reduces TCO by redefining and greatly simplifying storage
architectures for today’s use-case scenarios. By combining an open
source object storage protocol with Ethernet connectivity, Kinetic HDD
eliminates multiple layers of legacy hardware and software
infrastructure with a simple Key/Value interface. This in turn
eliminates or dramatically reduces the need for traditional storage
servers reducing capital equipment costs, power consumption and human
expenses associated with managing storage for a total savings of up to
70 percent.
All drives are currently sampling to select customers with wide scale
availability planned for late this year. For more information on the
