Seagate launches CORVAULT self-healing drives for enterprise data centres

Infrastructure Published 28th April 2022

Seagate has unveiled the industry’s first range of intelligent, high-performance, self-healing block storage systems that delivers multi-petabyte capacity, five-nines availability, and hyperscale efficiencies for data centre and ‘macro edge’ environments.

Seagate launches CORVAULT self-healing drives for enterprise data centres

►Reduces need to replace drives and cuts e-waste

►Brings DC storage economies onto a par with cloud

Seagate CORVAULT comes with Autonomous Drive Regeneration (ADR), which minimises e-waste, downtime, and human intervention by renewing errant drives in-situ. It enables hyperscale efficiency through the deployment of the latest, highest capacity, and most efficient hard drives giving data centres similar storage economics to that of cutting-edge cloud services.

The intelligent architecture of CORVAULT delivers 99.999% availability with fast read/writes, powerful dual controllers, and optimal design for uninterrupted performance, while its self-encrypting disks deliver exceptional levels of security.

Jas Garcha, director of solution enablement, Europe & Global, TD SYNNEX Global Computing Components (GCC), said: ‘We are really excited about the Exos CORVAULT solution. It’s an ideal “set-and-forget” solution for the data centre and one that partners can use to help enterprises meet the opposing forces of exponentially-rising capacity needs, increasing automation and keeping costs under control. We will really be getting behind the CORVAULT campaign and providing partners with all the information and support they need to maximise the enormous potential of these unique storage solutions.’

With CORVAULT, enterprises can store massive amounts of data with less human intervention. The system heals itself ‘on the fly’ using Seagate’s Autonomous Drive Regeneration (ADR) technology. This also reduces the environmental impact of computer e-waste as ADR drives are renewed instead of discarded. As a result, there is a dramatic reduction in manual drive swaps and most drives are returned to dependable service through reconfiguration to by-pass errant components.
