Seagate today showcased its latest enterprise solid-state drives at the Open Data Center Summit in Beijing. The products include the 8TB Nytro® XP7200 NVMe SSD, 60TB SAS SSD, 2TB Nytro® XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD, as well as the company’s newest enterprise HDD solutions, including the 8TB Archive HDD, Enterprise Performance HDD and 10TB helium-based Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD.
Seagate will also showcase an NVMe over Fabrics storage system technology, achieving millions of input/output operations per second (IOPS) and providing extremely low latency storage to host applications. This technology demo utilizes Seagate NVMe SSDs, storage systems and software.
The Open Data Center Summit is a platform for communications in the data center field, organized by the Open Data Center Committee. The summit invites industry leaders to discuss the latest technology trends, and provides an authoritative guide for China’s data center industry. According to market research firm Technavio, the data center market in China is expected to increase at an estimated compound annual growth rate of nearly 13 percent through 2020.
Seagate keynote touches on strategies
Tony Afshary, Seagate’s director of product marketing and ecosystem solutions for flash products, delivered a keynote speech outlining the company’s flash storage strategies.
“The large volumes of data created by enterprises utilizing the latest high-performance computing and Internet technologies has spurred demand for highly-efficient storage devices and data-management products, providing great opportunities for corporate storage solutions, and highlighting the importance of enterprise SSDs,” said Afshary. “Seagate is dedicated to managing this deluge of data and is strategically cooperating with many of China’s top enterprises. We are committed to offering the best solutions for hyper-scale data centers seeking the latest, fastest, and most sustainable flash technology that keep our partners and clients at the forefront of data management.”
Liu Jia, a Seagate senior engineer, also delivered a seminar speech that outlined how Seagate’s new high-capacity HDDs can help lower total cost of ownership for datacenter servers.
Fastest, Largest, Densest
Seagate’s newly launched 8TB Nytro XP7200 NVMe SSD is the fastest in the world at 10 GB per second, while its 60TB SAS SSD is the world’s largest SSD, and its 2TB Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD is the highest-density enterprise M.2 in the world. Those products made their global debut at the Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, California, in August.
As the latest addition to the Seagate Nytro SSD product line, the 2TB Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD is designed to accelerate enterprise data access, with twice the density of prior M.2 NVMe environments, and can reach performance levels as high as 30,000 IOPS per watt, enabling high levels of computing in the smallest power envelope and helping datacenters save precious space while increasing capacity density.
The 60TB SAS SSD features twice the density and four times the capacity of the next highest-capacity SSD available today, with a single controller architecture to deliver the lowest cost-per-gigabyte for flash available today. The 8TB Nytro XP7200 NVMe SSD features a single PCIe interface for high-speed data transfers and four separate controllers, accommodating the hyper-scale needs of today’s data centers seeking to easily grow with their data without losing the ability to quickly access and process it.
