Seagate Technology Holdings has launched a uniquely intelligent category of self-healing mass-capacity storage designed to streamline data management and reduce human intervention for macro edge and data center environments. The new Exos CORVAULT high-density storage system offers SAN-level performance built on Seagate’s breakthrough self-healing storage architecture that combines the sixth generation VelosCT ASIC, ADAPT erasure code data protection and Autonomous Drive Regeneration.
Designed on the Seagate Exos 4U106 12Gb/s platform, CORVAULT offers “five nines” availability (99.999%) helping to deliver consistently high reliability. The maximum-density 4U chassis accommodates 106 drives in only seven inches (18 cm) of rack space. It is tuned to maximise drive performance by protecting against vibrational and acoustic interference, heat, and power irregularities.
Seagate’s new VelosCT chip powers the system’s dual storage controllers, which optimises all drive actuators in parallel, driving superior performance, while Seagate’s Advanced Distributed Autonomic Protection self-healing Technology (ADAPT) distributes data across every drive offering advanced data protection and fast rebuilds without sacrificing performance.
While data creation is growing exponentially, IT teams and budgets are not. That’s why Seagate claims to have built CORVAULT. As a set-and-forget solution, you can store mass data with less human intervention. The system heals itself on the fly thanks to Seagate Autonomous Drive Regeneration (ADR). That means fewer opportunities for human error and more cost savings.
- Reduces the environmental impact of computer E-waste as ADR drives are renewed instead of discarded.
- Dramatically reduces manual drive swaps.
- Returns most drives to dependable service by reconfiguring the drive to bypass errant components.
CORVAULT will be available globally via qualified Seagate distributors in July.
