Atempo in Collaboration With Seagate to Combined Miria Data Management Platform With Lyve Cloud

Atempo SAS announced a collaboration with Seagate Technology Holdings plc to provide enterprises with a combined offering that simplifies and accelerates the migration of large volumes of data with Lyve edge-to-cloud mass storage platform.

The combination of the Atempo’ Miria data management platform, and Seagate’s Lyve Mobile and Lyve Cloud, provides a scalable, and competitive solution for organizations looking to reduce storage costs and improve operational performance by migrating large volumes of files from a data center to Lyve Cloud.

“The combined expertise of Atempo and Seagate will result in a high added-value solution that is reliable, agile and sustainable for our clients and partners,” stated Ferhat Kaddour, VP, sales and alliances, Atempo. “This collaboration is an excellent conduit for businesses to migrate their data efficiently and securely while respecting governance restraints and managing both cost and operational constraints.”

With the exploding volume of data, the challenges for organizations are to optimize their storage and keep costs under control. CIOs in 2022 have a range of options when it comes to hosting their data at a reasonable cost. Yet moving several hundred terabytes, or even petabytes of file data, remains a problem for many. Limited bandwidth between data centers is a considerable limitation, making it difficult to relocate data within a target timeframe. Migrations are frequently imposed by the end of storage equipment maintenance or by operational and geographical constraints.

The 2 companies provide answers to technical challenges that come with almost every migration project:

• Power to migrate billions of files between storage platforms.

• Preserved file integrity and associated access rights to files, folders, and shares.

• Reduced user impact and interruption on critical applications. The storage data remains in production with a progressive migration solution.

• Respect of budgetary constraints with zero vendor lock-in. There are no limits to the volume of data that enterprises can store and activate.

• Streamlined and efficient IT architectures resulting from data storage consolidation improve network transfers and cloud ingestion. The end of siloed data scattered across multiple clouds and edge locations which will boost innovation possibilities.

“Seagate’s mass data storage and migration platform, Lyve Cloud and Lyve Mobile, enables frictionless and cost-effective data flow for today’s enterprise,” said Jeff Fochtman, SVP, business and marketing, Seagate. “Adding Atempo’s data management platform to Lyve solutions elegantly solves mass data management, protection, availability challenges and cost complexity, allowing the enterprises to store, mobilize, and activate data at unprecedented volume and speed.”

In 2022, traditional solutions are falling short of expectations
The joint solution combines the Miria platform which manages the secure and rapid transfer of large file data volumes, and Lyve Mobile, that manages the physical transport of high-capacity volumes.

Data migration process:

1. In the primary datacenter, incremental migration handled by Miria, of batches of files or segments of the file tree structure to relocate from the source storage to the temporary Lyve Mobile storage

2. Miria relocates data from the Lyve Mobile storage to Lyve Cloud and/or its final destination storage location

Benefits:

• Moving data from any file storage to the Lyve Mobile is high speed, while reducing the impact on production and ensuring the integrity of the transferred data to the Lyve Mobile and from the Lyve Mobile to the destination datacenter or cloud.

• Scalable, modular, and vendor agnostic, Lyve Mobile is an integrated solution that eliminates network dependencies so enterprises can transfer mass data sets in a fast, secure, and efficient manner.

• Offering data privacy, no lock-in, no API charges, and no egress fees, Lyve Cloud enables enterprises to retain control of their data while lowering TCO for storing, accessing, and moving massive data sets.

The collaboration enables organizations to migrate up to several petabytes of data in a few days, whatever the distance or connectivity difficulties, while keeping control over key data and infrastructure choices.

This joint solution shines a light on the technologies of 2 players in the data management and cloud storage arenas including for markets requiring very high storage: HPC, genomics and biotech, life sciences, industrial modelling, connected vehicles, M&E, etc.
