HGST/WDC Active Archive System Certified With Veritas NetBackup

Combined solution offers massively scalable object storage to transform long term data retention.

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) and Veritas Technologies LLC, announced that the HGST Active Archive System is certified with Veritas NetBackup enterprise data protection software.

The combined solution, through native configuration and management, delivers massive object store capacity scaling and reduced backup complexity via an economical private cloud. Enterprise users can cut administrative costs and infrastructure overhead, including the high costs associated with tape management, tape rotation and offsite storage and retrievals.

The HGST Active Archive System and Veritas NetBackup solution allows customers to protect any workload, and deliver an optimized, scalable, and easy-to-manage storage solution to meet customer data SLAs,” said Brian Greene, senior director, NBU product management, Veritas. “As the sheer volume of data continues to increase, companies have to protect their data and drive down costs. Pairing our technology with HGST, one of the first object storage platforms to be certified by Veritas, the HGST Active Archive System enables customers to deploy a private cloud solution in a short period of time. The combined solution not only can reduce complexity, it allows more data to affordably remain on disk over the long-term where businesses can more quickly capture its value.

HGST Active Archive System is Amazon S3-compliant, scale-out object storage solution with the ability to scale from 672TB to 28PB of usable capacity. Leveraging enterprise HelioSeal helium-filled disk drive technology and end-to-end optimization of software and hardware, the system provides the industry’s best capacity, density, and TCO that rivals the economics of traditional tape and cloud infrastructures. Utilizing distributed erasure coding, it is capable of surviving an entire data center outage, maintaining a global view and data accessibility from any location.

Veritas NetBackup certification is a cornerstone to our backup and archive solutions strategy. With native HGST Active Archive System integration, a private cloud solution is now available that delivers the TCO and resiliency of public cloud backup,” said Barbara Murphy, VP marketing, WDC. “By working together, HGST and Veritas are delivering leading infrastructure that solves the backup challenge while still keeping data available and online.
