Seagate Government Solutions Group Responds
with Storage Systems Engineered for High Performance Computing
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX) today announced the
formation of Seagate Government Solutions, a new U.S.-based
business entity dedicated to helping address the growing
data-management needs of government agencies.
The new Seagate entity will focus on the federal government’s
big data, high performance computing (HPC), and security needs.
Seagate Government Solutions will draw from Seagate’s
purpose-engineered HPC and security storage technology –
encompassing a robust supply chain, from components and storage
devices to file systems – to deliver the levels of security,
performance, efficiency, complexity reduction and risk mitigation
especially needed in this space.
Deb Oliver, a former Lockheed Martin and Vencore executive with
over 30 years of experience working with the federal government,
will lead Seagate Government Solutions. Paul Kaminski — former U.S.
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology, and
Chairman and CEO of consulting company Technovation — will serve as
Chairman of the Seagate Government Solutions board.
“Federal agencies are under increasing pressure to efficiently
manage and store growing data, and ensure it stays in the right
hands,” said Deb Oliver, President, Seagate Government Solutions.
“At the same time, they’re faced with unique challenges that come
with security requirements and budget limitations. Seagate
Government Solutions’ investment in these organizations provides
them with innovative, end-to-end HPC technology specifically
tailored for their needs.”
Seagate Government Solutions will build on its leadership in
federal initiatives, including Seagate’s ClusterStor™ Secure Data
Appliance (SDA), the industry’s first secure scale-out parallel
file system solution. A proven technology developed specifically
for the federal space, ClusterStor SDA enables tens of thousands of
clients with different classifications to connect to a
single-server storage environment, only allowing access to those
who should have it. The solution meets standard intelligence
directive policies, and reduces costs for purchasing and
maintaining storage. ClusterStor SDA provides the means to
implement all the necessary Mandatory Access Control, explicit
audit logging and tracking, and encryption and support capabilities
to enforce access control privileges.
Seagate is also helping pioneer the Multilevel Security (MLS)
Ecosystem, a joint effort in collaboration with multiple
organizations to address data security requirements for the federal
government. The MLS Ecosystem is a framework of integrated,
automated technology that enables secure workflow for government
customers, eliminating costly data stovepipes while accommodating
various levels of security clearance.
“Seagate Government Solutions will make it possible for the
federal government to excel in the latest technology engineered for
HPC, despite – and perhaps because of – its rigorous security
demands,” said Paul Kaminski, Chairman of the Seagate Government
Solutions board. “This is crucial in the era of Big Data, and the
group will strive to achieve this by forging new partnerships and
driving new innovations.”
Seagate Government Solutions Group will be exhibiting at the
Supercomputing 2015 show November 16-19 in Austin, Texas, and will
be stationed at Seagate’s booth 473 (across from the Seagate main
booth 568). Seagate’s SDA storage will be featured as part of the
“Architecting, Implementing, and Supporting Multi-Level Security
Eco-System in HPC, ISR, Big Data Analysis and Other Environments”
tutorial on Sunday, November 15th.
