Our recent announcement of the Seagate EVault Backup Target Appliance (BTA) caught the interest of our partners and customers but also the industry’s media. In their words we wanted to share excerpts from
that press coverage about the BTA.
The Register: Seagate’s EVault joins the backup providers swarm
“It announced 50TB (3U) and 100TB (4U) EBA (Enterprise Backup and recovery Appliances) appliances last September and these compress, dedupe and encrypt data before storing it and sending it on its way.”
“The latest product fits neatly between these two in usable capacity terms and is designed, Seagate said, for large enterprise companies and service providers looking to protect OSs and apps, including Oracle databases.”
Storage Review: Seagate Introduces New EVault Backup Target Appliance
“The Seagate BTA is based off of Seagate’s hybrid cloud model (supporting environments where both private and public cloud storage is used). The BTA is designed to give database administrators more control and flexibility to deploy backups by utilizing any enterprise application’s backup software. The BTA can deploy backup and recovery storage vaults wherever they are needed, including DeltaPro backups, enterprise components, and granular restore.”
Disaster Recovery Journal: Introducing Seagate’s New EVault Backup Target Appliance
(Verbatim from Seagate’s blog) “The Seagate EVault BTA has been designed for database administrators who want more control and increased flexibility to deploy backups, where needed,” said John Bedrick, Seagate Product Line Director – Cloud-Connected Products. “Also key to the BTA is its unique hybrid architecture as the only appliance of its type able to backup to a private, public or partner cloud.”

Tech Target: Seagate adds EVault backup appliance for on-premises or cloud
“Liz Conner, senior research analyst with IDC’s storage systems team, said Seagate owns all the components to build a backup target appliance. It already has its own EVault cloud service. ‘They don’t have to OEM anything,” she said. “They have cloud connected. A couple of other companies have cloud connected but that is a fairly new piece to the puzzle. The other appliances Seagate have back up at a max of 50 terabytes or 100 terabytes. The 65 terabyte system helps round out the product line.’ ”
