SC25: Seagate Launches Next-Gen Edge Enterprise Storage, Engineered for Tomorrow’s Data Challenges

Seagate Technology Holdings plc, a reference in mass-capacity data storage, introduced its new Exos 4U100 and 4U74 JBOD systems, setting a new standard for enterprise storage ahead of the SC25 conference.Purpose-built for data-centric environments at the data center and edge, these platforms deliver up to 3.2PB of storage in the most complete high-density single enclosure on the market. 

As organizations encounter significant data growth fueled by GenAI, disaggregated storage architectures, and evolving data sovereignty requirements, both the Exos 4U100 and Exos 4U74 systems provide advanced SAS-4 JBOD storage solutions. These systems are designed to streamline operations, enhance energy efficiency, and offer scalable storage capabilities, powered by Seagate’s Mozaic innovation.

AI Drives a New Era of Enterprise Storage
Generative AI is transforming how enterprises create and manage data. According to the latest IDC study sponsored by Seagate, 78% of organizations are now generating new types of content, with storage needs surging as AI adoption accelerates.

“The key question is no longer whether data volumes will rise, but how enterprises can harness that scale to deliver measurable value,” said Adam Wright, research manager, IDC.

Yet, the challenge extends beyond sheer volume: evolving data sovereignty laws now require organizations to store and manage data locally to meet compliance and privacy mandates, while the rise of on-prem AI workflows is shifting analytics from centralized cloud environments to hybrid, distributed and disaggregated operations. This transformation demands storage of exceptional performance, extreme security and futureproof scalability, but also energy-efficiency – setting the stage for innovation at the edge.

“The Seagate Exos 4U100 JBOD marks the beginning of a bold new chapter in edge storage innovation – engineered to meet the evolving demands of data creation, storage, replication and analysis at the edge. It’s not just a product; it’s a demonstration of Seagate’s commitment to empowering organizations to retain more data for longer periods of time, as leaders assess the value data can bring to future business outcomes.” said Melyssa Banda, SVP, edge storage and services, Seagate.

Innovation Built for Edge
The Exos 4U100 leverages the company’s latest Mozaic HAMR technology to deliver industry-leading density, energy efficiency, and rapid data throughput. Designed for petabyte-scale AI and ML workflows, it supports frequent model checkpointing, long-term retention, and continuous data ingestion – empowering organizations to scale storage and support real-time edge analytics. 

Key Benefits:

• Industry-Leading Capacity: 3.2PB in one enclosure, engineered end-to-end by Seagate to support current and next-gen drives
• Flexible Configuration: SAS or SATA support, with streamlined deployment
• Operational Efficiency: 70% more efficient cooling and 30% lower power use than previous-gen
• Simplified Deployment: Optimized for various rack depths, tool-less access, and fast installation across data centers and edge sites
• Enterprise-Grade Security: Secure boot, Seagate Secure certificate, Redfish management, and compliance-ready for sovereign data

Availability
The Seagate Exos 4U100 and 4U74 JBODs will be available next quarter through the company’s authorized channel partners worldwide.

The Seagate team will be showcasing the Exos systems on booth 1411 at Supercomputing on Nov 17-20.
