Backup and Recovery Solutions Deliver Scale,
Security and up to 400% Performance Improvements for Private,
Public and Hybrid Cloud Deployments
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today announced new and updated Hybrid Cloud Data
Protection solutions that enable customers to manage explosive data
growth and increasingly complex security needs easily and cost
effectively.
The new and updated hybrid cloud solutions in Seagate’s
portfolio include: Seagate® Backup and Recovery Software1, Seagate
Cloud Backup and Recovery Services2, Seagate Backup and Recovery
Private Cloud, and Seagate Data Management Services. These
solutions will be delivered by Seagate, its value added resellers
(VARs) and managed service providers (MSPs) to customers from small
and medium sized businesses up through large enterprises for
private, public and hybrid cloud deployments.
“Organizations of all sizes are moving to the cloud for a
variety of reasons – and data protection is certainly among the top
ones,” states Jason Buffington, senior analyst of data protection
at the Enterprise Strategy Group. “To meet users’ expectations of
data availability and recoverability, on-premises solutions are
paramount, but the cloud absolutely has a role to play in backup
and disaster recovery preparedness, as well as offsite/long-term
data retention. It is worth noting that IT needs have finally
caught up to what Seagate’s EVault technology has been offering for
nearly a decade: a heterogeneous, turnkey backup appliance with
tightly-coupled cloud extensibility. What will be interesting to
watch is the continued scale, speed and management innovation
recently announced, as well as the portfolio assimilation by
Seagate, as they continue to be in front of what IT is looking for
in a disk-plus-cloud hybrid approach to data protection.”
“Seagate is a time saver, sleep saver, and money saver,”
explained Skip Womack, chief commercial officer at Pixius
Communications. “As a past CIO for a couple of Fortune 500
companies, I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on backup
solutions that were so labor intensive, slow, and just did not meet
my needs. Seagate, hands down, puts these concerns to rest.”3
One of the greatest challenges facing IT teams is the need to
shorten backup and recovery times. Seagate’s Backup and Recovery
solutions can be deployed quickly, minimize the time required for
backups, streamline management and restore data instantaneously.
Seagate is helping customers improve their total cost of ownership
(TCO) with new Seagate Data Management Services that analyze data
usage without manual intervention and advise on the most cost
effective storage tier the data should reside on. The service
enables clients to meet compliance requirements, policy enforcement
and data governance.
“Today our customers and partners are faced with explosive data
growth, compliance requirements, the cost and complexity of
non-traditional applications like the Internet of Things, big data
and the ongoing transition to software-as-a-service,” said Mike
Palmer, senior vice president and general manager of cloud
solutions. “At the same time IT budgets are not increasing,
security threats continue to put organizations at risk and data
center operations are taking more time away from the core business.
Today we are responding to each of these challenges - through new
performance, scale, availability and management solutions, which
drive out operational complexity and give our customers and
partners time back to run their core business.”
Seagate’s Backup and Recovery Software and Cloud Backup and
Recovery Services now deliver up to 400% performance improvement in
the speed of backup, restore and replication than the previous
Seagate EVault offering, making it possible for organizations of
all sizes to protect large and growing datasets within their
standard backup window without impacting their production
environments. The software is optimized to deliver the highest
possible backup and recovery throughput, and can handle up to 6TB
of compressed data per hour (read speeds) on a single module for a
real-world mix of jobs.4
Seagate’s New Backup and Recovery Private Cloud is the ideal
scale out infrastructure for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) or
large enterprises requiring a solution that supports the growing
cloud-based backup requirements of many clients or departments. The
Seagate Backup and Recovery Private Cloud supports multi-tenancy
and delivers speed, virtually unlimited scale, and high
availability. MSPs or enterprise customers can start with the
storage capacity they need and grow to PB scale, scaling up to 1PB
in two racks of tier-1 storage and 2PB in one rack of tier-2
storage. The scale out aspect of Seagate’s Backup and Recovery
Private Cloud has virtually no bounds.
Availability
Seagate’s new software and Backup and Recovery Private Cloud
will be available in the US and EMEA at the end of August. Details
