Today is a significant moment in HGST history with the birth of the Active Archive System that will enable organizations to easily store, retain and harness the power of data like never before. First referenced in September during our #LongLiveData launch event, and now a fully-realized solution, the Active Archive System supports HGST’s strategy to bring higher value systems to customers enabling them to transform their data into business value
. #LongLiveData indeed.
In a nutshell, the Active Archive System is a fully integrated, turnkey, S3-compliant, scale-out object storage system that rivals the scale and TCO of traditional cloud infrastructure. It delivers 4.7 petabytes (PB) of raw data storage per rack and is ready to go out-of-the-box! Just add network and power and this baby is ready to go. It’s beautiful and has incredible features.
So why name the latest addition to our family Active Archive System? It might not have the flair of Bob Geldof’s first-born Fifi Trixibelle, or Gwyneth’s Apple, but it exactly describes the category we are creating. For data that is past its early useful life, but not so old that it should be put out to pasture–aka tape–nothing provides unprecedented levels of accessibility, scalability, simplicity and affordability like our latest addition–Active Archive System.
In fact, Active Archive System’s breakthrough TCO beats the white box economics of traditional cloud infrastructure to enable organizations to store and access more data, driving deeper insights and ultimately unlocking the value of their data.
