We recently collaborated on a piece, published this week on HPCwire. It adds to a website aptly described as providing “resources covering the fastest computers in the world and the people who run them.”
Seagate knows and serves this audience because in fact we are this audience.
The piece should be the perfect HPC primer for a diverse following that comprises now acquired Xyratex and EVault brands as well as those regular watchers of Seagate. By now those readers will have noticed our new Intelligent Infrastructure blog and/or new Twitter handle @SeagateB4B, which has been publishing and promoting useful insights for the past month.
The blog’s title coincides with the Intelligent Information Infrastructure system Seagate has created to help organizations involved with HPC manage today’s massive growth of digital data and cope with next generation workloads. Of particular note, in the HPCwire article, is news of Seagate’s inaugural ClusterStor User Group event taking place at SC’14 in New Orleans on Monday, November 17th.
Below are some key takeaways from the piece:
- Leading analyst firms predict that overall volume of digital bits created, replicated and consumed across the United States alone will reach over 40 zettabytes (about one billion terabytes) by 2020;
- Seagate, founded in 1979, has the experience and the knowledge to meet the storage challenges posed by the rapid growth of HPC and Big Data. As such the company is well positioned to help organizations manage their data growth and create actionable information;
- Seagate technology stores 45% of the world’s knowledge and about 50% of public cloud data;
- A foundational pillar of Seagate’s Cloud Systems & Solutions strategy is ClusterStor, a fully integrated Lustre-based scale out solution designed for HPC, Cloud and Big Data customers;
- Through its systems group (formerly Xyratex), Seagate has shipped nearly two million enclosures for major enterprise original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
- Seagate invites attendees of SC’14 to join its inaugural ClusterStor User Group event
