Seagate Technology has launched its latest enterprise solutions designed to deliver storage for the widest range of application environments. Joining the industry’s most award-winning enterprise lineup, these solutions include: two new members of the Pulsar Solid State Drive (SSD) family that deliver the ultimate enterprise performance, endurance and reliability; two next-generation Savvio 15K and 10K hard disk drives (HDD) optimized for a balance of high performance and capacity; and the latest Constellation ES.2 HDD for pure capacity-optimized mass storage needs.

“The surge in storage consumption is being driven not only by the growth of content and use within the enterprise, but also by new applications and devices that directly or indirectly consume enterprise storage,” said Rajesh Khurana, Country Manager – India and SAARC, Seagate Technology. “Seagate’s new family of enterprise storage solutions meets the diverse storage needs of these high growth application environments, whether it’s fast transactional database servers, bulk storage and archiving, or everything in between.”

“When we increase the possibility for storage at any point in the world wide web, we increase the possibility for storage at every point in the world wide web,” said John Monroe, a Research vice president in Gartner’s Data Center Systems group. “Media tablets and other smart handheld devices will serve to generate an even greater need for enormous amounts of both high-capacity and high-speed storage in the cloud, which will in turn require diverse new breeds of storage building blocks to manage this explosive and complex data growth in more efficient, reliable and cost-effective ways.”

Pulsar.2 and Pulsar XT.2 – Pure Performance with Enterprise-Class Endurance 

Pulsar.2 is the first MLC-enabled, (up to 800GB) SSD from an enterprise HDD vendor delivering the price/performance, data integrity, and endurance needed for performance-hungry enterprise applications. Unlike other MLC SSDs that have been designed for consumer applications and lack the robust data integrity and endurance feature set required for enterprise applications, Pulsar. 2 has been designed from the ground up for the enterprise.

Pulsar XT.2 is a 2.5-inch, SLC-based, native 6Gb/s SAS, up to 400GB enterprise SSD from Seagate, the world leader in enterprise storage. Pulsar XT.2 delivers the highest levels of consistent performance, data integrity, and drive endurance for the most demanding enterprise environments.

Savvio 15K.3 and Savvio 10K.5 – Greater IT Storage Efficiency 

Seagate’s latest-generation Savvio 2.5-inch small form factor enterprise class HDDs are built to deliver high performance, reliability, and capacity for tier 1, mission critical server and storage systems. The 2.5-inch enterprise small form factor has transitioned to becoming the form factor of choice over 3.5-inch, with Savvio drives further maximizing data center capabilities without increasing footprint.

Savvio 10K.5 delivers the world’s highest capacity in a 2.5-inch mission critical HDD with up to 900GB, enabling easier and more flexible storage upgrades to create high capacity, high performance systems.

Savvio 15K.3 is the highest performing HDD available and is optimized for tier 1 storage applications. With capacities available at 300GB and 146GB, Savvio 15K.3 is well-suited for performance-oriented systems that can remain cost-effective to IT budgets and fit a wide range of applications.

Constellation ES.2 –Highest Capacity Enterprise Drive from the Nearline Market Leader 

The new Constellation ES.2 packs the highest capacity into an enterprise-class drive, providing the efficiencies demanded by capacity-intensive 24/7 applications, making it ideal for low cost-per-GB highly-valued business storage solutions. With massive 3TB capacities, Constellation ES.2 powers both server and bulk storage solutions, maximizing the storage footprint by supporting up to 114TB per square foot.

Constellation ES.2 is offered in both 6Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA) and 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interfaces. It is currently shipping to OEMs and will be available in the channel Q2 this year.
