Seagate Exos Corvault 4U106 Block Storage System Reaching 2.5PB with HAMR-Based Configurations

Seagate Technology Holdings plc announced the Exos Corvault 4U106 mass data storage system.

Offering capacity of 2.5PB, the high-performing multi-petabyte block storage system offers higher rack density, extended lifecycles, and less power per petabyte, lowering TCO.

The Exos Corvault 4U106 features the company’s high capacity Exos HDDs, which, combined with self-healing technology, create efficient petabyte storage building block for scale-out data center architecture, reducing storage networking resources up to 50% and improving total rack power efficiency up to 30%. The self-healing capabilities of Seagate’s Autonomous Drive Regeneration (ADR) and Advanced Distributed Autonomic Protection Technology (ADAPT) help reduce downtime and optimize data center resources such as maintenance and human intervention and, in turn, carbon footprint and e-waste.

“The storage requirements and budget constraints for science, research, HPC, and higher education institutions are substantial,” said Alexander Ruebensaal, CEO, ABC Systems AG. “For our customers’ multi-petabyte datasets, we turned to Seagate’s Exos Corvault. Its unique design allowed them to reduce their total storage costs up to 80% annually, including technical, operational, service, and maintenance costs compared to previous solutions. These tremendous savings can be reallocated to scientists and researchers.”

Already available in a 2PB CMR-based configuration, the Exos Corvault 4U106 will now also be offered in 2PB and 2.5PB HAMR-based configurations. Both capacities in the new configurations can be ordered from storage resellers WW in November with product availability at the end of December.
