No. Lyve Mobile’s subscription-based approach provides a scalable and predictable model that is purposefully designed to help you reduce upfront IT costs and bring greater flexibility to your day-to-day business operations.

Once you create an account at lyve.seagate.com, simply assign a product user to your project. If that’s you, use your product user credentials to assign yourself to the project. The assigned user will then receive an email invitation to the Lyve Management Portal and a link to download Lyve Client software, which is required to unlock devices. The product user provisioning (through KMS) authorizes the username and password associated with the project and the device specified. Once Client is downloaded, product users can log into the device through Client and the device will be automatically detected and appear on the dashboard.

Data security is always top of mind for us. That’s why Lyve Mobile shuttles include self-encrypting drives (SEDs) for data encryption as well as government-grade crypto erase for completed projects. Additionally, they’re built with online/offline user management with IT admin permissions, field user permissions, and remote field permission applications. As for physical transport, they include a mil-grade Pelican case featuring a lock, tamper-resistant screws, and tamper-evident sticker seals.

Companies from an array of industries use Lyve Mobile, including automotive, geosciences, oil and gas, and more. Typically, these companies fall into one of the following categories: They require weekly data shuttling for ongoing data sharing, or, they need to

transfer large data archives from edge locations and therefore require high-capacity lift-and-shift solutions.

We offer capacities ranging from 8TB up to 96TB. Depending on your use case, environment, and the amount of data you need to move, we’ve got both HDD and SSD options.

Creating an account with Lyve Management Portal allows you to manage your projects, users, and billing in a centralized place. This account is also required to lock and unlock your device for use.

A business account allows you to create projects for your own company while a reseller or solution provider account allows you to create projects on behalf of your customer.

We offer both project-based and annual plans. Project-based plans start as low as $320 per month for a 16TB HDD shuttle. Annual plans provide up to 8% cost savings on your overall order.
