Now, businesses can have enterprise level data storage performance at a lower cost. There is an ongoing struggle between faster access to information and lowering the cost of IT infrastructure. Businesses depend on data and slow response times can cripple a company, impacting revenue and operations. At the same time, companies are constantly asked to reduce cost and save money while maintaining operational excellence.
With Seagate's real-time tiering technology, higher IOPS can be achieved with a small number of SSDs, lowering the system cost relative to AFA solutions. Data is moved to the SSD tier when it is accessed frequently and moved down to slower disk tiers when not in use. This approach balances SSD speed with HDD cost, delivering real-time business benefits while keeping IT cost down.
Better Architecture
If your customers are looking for out of the box functionality, and easy confirguration, Seagate is your solution. Different areas of a business need different IT solutions. Many times components are delivered from multiple vendors, which means more work for procurement to manage many suppliers, for sales and support staff to understand a wide variety of products and for operations to keep track of all the unique offerings.
The Seagate storage systems portfolio is built across a common architecture, allowing the same chassis to be used across many different business units with differing needs. With Seagate, solutions can be tailored by division to deliver the most important features for that business function, while keeping a consistent platform across the company to ease the burden on sales, operations, supply chain and support.
Better Reliability
Quality and reliability are key to a company's IT environment. With many businesses operating 24x7, it is important to have systems that are accessible around the clock. Downtime can have significant impact on revenue and ongoing operations. Even a slight outage can have devastating consequences.
Seagate combines devices, including HDDs and SSDs, with Seagate storage systems to create an integrated solution that is built to work better together. When needed, support is easier and more efficient. In addition, the storage platform is designed for and validated at 99.999% availability, meaning your IT environment will just work so you can focus on other business functions instead.
