Seagate is committed to delivering innovative cloud technology, device, service and support features that help lower TCO for cloud computing and cloud storage.
With massive data centre expansion and increasing concerns over both the financial and environmental costs of ever-increasing power use, the need for more energy-efficient storage in data centres has never been more apparent. Moreover, PowerChoice technology’s flexible, user-manageable options enable power savings without sacrificing performance, data integrity or reliability.
Traditional methods of retiring and repurposing drives are time consuming, costly and, despite a data centre management’s best efforts, may fail to entirely mitigate the risk of a data security breach. Seagate Instant Secure Erase dramatically reduces the time it takes to retire or repurpose a hard drive from days to mere seconds, thus lowering data centre operational costs.
Growth in disk drive capacities has resulted in even more time consuming RAID recovery. It can take hours—and often days—to recover a high-capacity RAID set. Seagate RAID Rebuild technology’s partial-failure copy feature is faster and less error-prone, and lowers the TCO of deploying large RAID sets in data centre management.
Nearly all drives eventually leave the data centre and their owners’ control; Seagate estimates that 50,000 drives are retired from data centres daily. Corporate data resides on such drives, and when most leave the data centre, the data they contain is still readable. Seagate Self-Encrypting Drive technology helps data centre management reduce the risk of data breach.
