As a high-density data storage system, the security of data is naturally the first, after all, if the data is damaged, the consequences are extremely serious, and if the storage system can repair itself, then it is obviously a very good thing for the data storage company, for which the world's famous storage companies are developing systems that can repair themselves, including Seagate. At present, Seagate has held an Exos Corvault New Product Appreciation Meeting to introduce you to more information about Seagate Exos Corvault products.
As a data storage system, the first inseparable is data, according to the survey of New Horizons of Data, in the three years from 2020 to 2022, the annual growth rate of data generated by enterprises has reached 42.2%, but 68% of the data has not yet been truly activated. As the industry's leading storage provider, Seagate shipped 1 ZB of total storage in 2015, 2ZB in 2019 and 3ZB in 2021. Such a huge amount of data is also driving the need for large-capacity storage such as edge and core. However, the high cost of data also makes enterprise users more demanding data storage capacity, performance and even data recovery needs. In response, Seagate has launched the Exos Corvault system, a self-healing, intelligent mass storage platform.
As a new generation of Storage System for Seagate, Corvault is built on the Seagate Exos 4U 106 SSD platform, which can achieve 12Gb per second of storage and an overall reliability of 99.999%. And Seagate said corvault is built on a 4U chassis, which can maximize density and achieve 106 hard drives in 7 inches of rack space. In addition, Seagate built a VelosCT chip for the system to optimize all the hard drive arms in parallel for superior performance. And Seagate has built advanced distributed auto-protection technology that distributes data across each drive, providing advanced data protection. Compared with the traditional RAID protection method, the reconstruction efficiency of this protection technology is increased by more than 10 times. In addition, Corvault also supports automatic disk regeneration (ADR) technology, which supports instant self-correction, if the enterprise wants to replace the hard disk, it can complete the update without manually, and the performance of the hard disk remains unchanged at peak, thereby increasing data density and reducing e-waste.
Seagate also said that the use cases of this system are very rich, including cloud computing and enterprise storage, data workflows, monitoring storage systems, big data analysis and high-performance computing and other data-sensitive industries can use Exos Corvault to achieve more secure data assurance and super-density data storage, and Seagate also hopes to use this system to let more users feel the advantages of Exos Corvault in data storage. In turn, it helps enterprises create more efficient, stable and diversified intelligent application scenarios and create a new storage pattern.
