Building on the Broadest Portfolio in the
Industry, Cutting-Edge Helium Technology to be added to Entire
Seagate Nearline Product Line
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today announced it is now shipping in volume its 10TB
helium enterprise drives— the Seagate® Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD.
Engineered to meet the storage needs of top cloud service
providers, the Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD features the industry’s
lowest power and weight for maximum space efficiency at the lowest
energy usage— lowering the overall total cost of ownership (TCO) of
today’s large scale data centers. Currently the highest capacity
drives available worldwide, these innovative new products are now
available to purchase direct from global distributors.
“Seagate has the most comprehensive Nearline portfolio in the
industry. Each of our Nearline products – including our new
flagship 10TB helium enterprise drive shipping today – is designed
to help customers take maximum advantage of top technology trends
that have the highest impact on their business,” said Mark Re, CTO
at Seagate. “While we offer a number of impressive technology
advantages, at the end of the day customers really want solutions
and insights that help them better leverage the value of their data
so they can offer services and capabilities unmatched by their
competitors. Seagate’s 10TB helium drive is designed with these
market mandates front of mind.”
“Seagate is once again at the forefront of innovation with our
Nearline portfolio. Our new 10TB drive boasts advanced write
caching capabilities for better performance and the lowest weight
and the best energy efficiency in the industry- making this new
drive is a real game changer,” said John Morris, vice president of
enterprise products at Seagate. “Now shipping in volume to our
global strategic customers like Ciara and Supermicro, we are
pleased to bring this drive to market with the knowledge that it
provides highly-valued and unprecedented performance for our
customers’ hyperscale solutions.”
Announced in January in conjunction with partners Huawei and
Alibaba, the Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD improves performance by
using advanced caching algorithms to help cloud data center
managers manage the increasing volume of data more quickly.
Featuring Seagate PowerChoice™ technology, the drive helps
businesses manage and reduce the ongoing costs associated with
power and cooling during idle time, while Seagate’s PowerBalance™
feature helps optimize the IOPS/Watt for even greater
efficiency.
“Seagate’s 10TB Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD expands Supermicro’s
hyperscale server and storage solutions optimized for cloud
solution providers. With Supermicro’s 4U 60/90 3.5” top-load
hot-swap bay server and single expander JBOD storage solutions,
Seagate helium-based high capacity drives provide a robust
foundation for building OpenStack cloud infrastructure, delivering
maximum performance, scalability and capacity density at the lowest
overall TCO,” said Don Clegg, vice president of marketing and
business development at Supermicro.
“Reliability and performance in a storage solution are key
criteria for Ciara’s cloud initiative. Seagate’s new helium-based
10TB Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD meets and exceeds both of these
criteria,” said Darcy Letemplier, vice president of engineering, at
Ciara. “Our partnership is a natural choice because of our combined
intimate knowledge of the storage industry and a thorough
understanding of cloud service providers’ needs.”
