PRODUCT SHOWCASE DETAILS:
HGST Active Archive System: A fully integrated, scale-out
object storage system delivering 4.7 petabytes (PBs) of raw data
storage in a single rack. The system provides the industry's best
capacity and density with support for geo-dispersed replication,
data-at-rest encryption (DARE), as well as distributed erasure
coding for cloud-scale data durability and reliability—at a total
cost of ownership that beats public cloud and build-it-yourself
alternatives.
SESSION:
Topic: Transforming Data Silos with Active Archives –
Data continues to grow exponentially, but is often deleted or
archived to tape, making extracting intrinsic value from it, a
virtual impossibility. While tape backups offer great storage
economics, object storage systems provide instant accessibility,
allowing enterprises to make faster and better decisions. During
this session, Steve Phillpott, CIO
of HGST, a Western Digital Corporation brand will share how HGST is
transforming silos of cold storage into cloud-scale active
archives. He will also show how active archives are removing
storage layers, eliminating latency in copying data to the HGST Big
Data Platform, and creating self-service for retrieval and
restoration.
