2021: Lyve Cloud View

On February 24, 2021, Seagate Technology, a representative in the field of storage and management solutions, introduced Lyve Cloud - S3-compatible cloud storage as a service that is constantly available for hosting and using very large amounts of data. This is an easy-to-use service that allows enterprises to realize the potential of their large-scale unstructured datasets.

Together with Equinix, a digital infrastructure company, Seagate makes Lyve Cloud available to more customers. This collaboration opens up opportunities to connect additional cloud services and increase the geographical coverage of data centers.

The Lyve Cloud was a logical step in Seagate's development of big data storage solutions - it combines our high-capacity HDD innovations with a deep understanding of the storage industry, "said Ravi Naik, Executive Vice President of Storage Services and Chief Information Officer of Seagate. - The task of the cloud is to give customers the opportunity to derive great value from the data available to them. According to the Seagate Rethink Data report, up to 68% of the data available to enterprises is not used. The Lyve Cloud is located in peripheral urban data centers - close to enterprise data sources - which allows enterprises to store and use large amounts of information at an attractive price with proper reliability and efficiency.

By placing Lyve Cloud in close proximity to Equinix Metal, a bare-metal server provider, in the Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers, customers can leverage the scalability and efficiency of object storage while leveraging the Equinix Fabric hybrid and multi-cloud architecture service, connecting data sources to multiple edge and cloud applications. Placing Lyve Cloud infrastructure in data centers in peripheral urban centers also reduces latency, as data is stored and processed closer to where it is created.

We see many prospects in collaboration with Seagate, including it will help get customers additional digital benefits, "said Eric Schwartz, Equinix Strategy Director. - Using Lyve Cloud with Platform Equinix enables customers to build composite cloud applications that work with optimized, cost-effective storage. Lyve Cloud is an innovative solution that is especially valuable for systems that require data storage and use in data centers. The implementation of such a solution contributes to the accelerated implementation of such digital transformation projects as disaster recovery, hybrid and multi-cloud storage, bare-metal services, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

With Lyve Cloud, privacy is ensured, operator connectivity is not required and outbound traffic is not paid, allowing customers to retain complete control over their data and reduce the total cost of storing huge digital arrays. The product is certified to ISO 27001 and SOC2 standards, meets the requirements for data security required by enterprises, and ensures continuous encryption of information during its transfer and storage.

{{Quote 'Enterprises have recognized the need to store more data for a longer time - not only to ensure business continuity, but also for analytics and deep learning, "said Wenzeslao Lada, Vice President, Commvault Alliances. - Commvault software is integrable and fully compatible with Seagate Lyve Cloud, enabling our customers to take advantage of this convenient cloud storage that ensures long-term storage with predictable costs. }}

As an IT director, I prefer solutions that ensure predictability, security and no locks, "said Sudhakar Chilukuri, IT director at Lattice Semiconductor. - Lyve Cloud features are very well suited to these needs. We don't need to change anything - we can just add Lyve Cloud for certain workloads. It is important to choose a cloud strategy that, in addition, will have a transparent price, high reliability and performance.

Lyve Cloud and other Seagate Lyve solutions, including modular hardware and software, are designed to work with very large amounts of information. They make it easier for enterprises to access, transmit, and manage data. As of February 2021, the Lyve Cloud can be used in various regions of the United States, and in the future it will be available in other countries.
