SAN JOSE, Calif., March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Helping the
world harness the power of data, Western Digital Corporation
(NASDAQ: WDC) today announced that Revera, New Zealand's leading cloud services provider,
has installed the HGST (@HGSTstorage) Active Archive System as its
cloud-scale data repository for Revera Vault. Geared for
deployments of all sizes – from terabytes to zettabytes, Vault
relies on the HGST Active Archive System for its object store
capability, capacity scaling, and unmatched data durability to
optimize data accessibility and business continuity.
By leveraging the HGST Active Archive System, Revera Vault
offers a distributed storage environment in excess of fourteen
petabytes. This geo-dispersed architecture provides customers
effortless access to their data, consistent performance, and
maximum data durability. Vault customers can ingest data in
Auckland and immediately retrieve
it from Wellington, even in the
event of a complete data center loss.
"Vault changes accepted models of enterprise data management – a
model typified by disk-to-disk replication with tape completing the
trifecta. But tape is fast becoming the dinosaur of storage media
as cloud services deliver unlimited scale and flexible object-based
storage systems," said Robin
Cockayne, chief executive officer, Revera. "The HGST Active
Archive System with object storage is key to delivering
best-in-class services to our customers' ballooning data
requirements."
WDC's HGST Active Archive System is a fully integrated, Amazon
S3-compliant, scale-out object storage solution delivering 4.7
petabytes (PB) of raw data storage in a single rack. Leveraging
HelioSeal® helium-filled disk drive technology and end-to-end
optimization of system software and hardware, the system provides
the industry's best capacity, density and TCO with support for
geo-dispersed replication, data-at-rest encryption (DARE), as well
as distributed erasure coding for cloud-scale data durability and
reliability—all key selection criteria for Revera.
"Revera's reliance on the HGST Active Archive System as the
cloud storage backend for Revera Vault spotlights its
transformative benefits for cloud data centers where data
availability, resiliency and durability at exabyte-scale is
essential," said Dave Tang, senior
vice president and general manager at Western Digital Corporation.
"Our systems enable cloud service providers to offer their
customers breakthrough value and service levels to provide a
competitive advantage in today's data-centric world."
