Seagate Enterprise Performance 3.5 HDD Powers
Storage Demands of New Sugon TC4600T Server
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today announced an important breakthrough partnership
with Sugon, China’s leading information system integrated service
provider, whereby the computer maker will incorporate Seagate’s
latest 4TB Enterprise Performance 3.5 HDD into its new TC4600T line
of server products.
Designed for large scale data centers, the Sugon TC4600T server
is engineered for a wide range of demanding applications, including
server storage area networks, and converged storage and object
storage. With the increasing needs for high-definition photographs
and long term scientific research, storage capacity is playing an
increasingly critical role in these systems. The Seagate Enterprise
Performance 3.5 HDD addresses these demands by delivering high
performance in a large capacity, high velocity storage device to
reliably support these expanding applications.
“Seagate is committed to developing innovative products that
enable our customers to deliver higher performance while minimizing
total cost of ownership,” said John Morris, vice president of
enterprise products at Seagate. “Seagate’s new Enterprise
Performance 3.5 HDD, which Sugon is employing, focuses on the most
optimal combination of data storage and data access capabilities
while outperforming all existing 3.5-inch hard disk drives
currently available on the market.”
“Today object storage and hyper-converged storage are ushering
in a new era of data-centric computing placing an increased demand
for the scalable storage systems that feature both high performance
and large capacity,” said Wang Zhengfu, COO at Sugon. “Seagate’s
professional storage technologies complement Sugon’s strengths
extremely well enhancing the overall performance of our solutions
and helping our customers to improve their overall market
competitiveness and business growth.”
“With rapidly improving computer performance and dramatically
developing internet technologies object storage and hyper-converged
storage are becoming increasingly mature resulting in new
challenges for effectively storing and managing huge amounts of
data,” said Ms. Sandy Sun, Seagate’s vice president and general
manager for Asia-Pacific and China sales. “Both Seagate and Sugon
have paid close attention to customer needs and are committed to
providing the best solutions for users to make the most of their
data. I’m pleased that the new Seagate Enterprise Performance 3.5
HDD enables Sugon to achieve this goal by addressing the capacity
and performance needs of their various workloads.”
Designed for 24x7 operations, the Enterprise Performance 3.5 HDD
is the industry’s highest-performing 4TB hard drive accelerating
capabilities for data ingest and analytics at a
blazingly-fast streaming data rate of over 300
MB/s. Featuring the fastest data transmission at the best
cost-performance ratio available, it is ideally suited for HPC, big
data analytics, and scale-out storage scenarios. The drive fulfills
applications in a broad range of sectors including education,
scientific research, cloud computing and government.
This HDD includes the latest generation 12Gb/s SAS interface for
future system scalability. It also has a 2M hour MTBF rating, 750
TB/year workload rate limit for superior reliability providing the
best performance in the toughest environments. In contrast with
traditional Nearline hard drives, the drive also provides superior
sequential and random read and write performance.
Both companies held a joint press conference at InterContinental
Beichen Hotel Beijing on May 13, showcasing the all new Sugon
TC4600T datacenter solution and a wide range of Seagate enterprise
storage products including the 4TB Enterprise Performance 3.5 HDD.
Ms. Sandy Sun and Mr. Wang Zhengfu attended the event and shared
their latest achievements with the participants. Based on its
ongoing partnership with Seagate, Sugon is also implementing
Seagate enterprise storage solutions in its server lines, including
the Enterprise Performance 10K and 15K HDD and 8TB Enterprise
Capacity 3.5 HDD.
