Storage innovations from Seagate
Inside the region , Seagate launched the Mozaic 3 + hard drive platform at Intersec 2024 . This innovation , which incorporates Seagate ’ s trailblazing implementation of Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording technology , drastically increases areal density up to 3TB + per platter , with 4TB + and 5TB + per platter to be achieved in the coming years .
Against a backdrop of growing demand for data centres globally , this innovation allows for increased data centre capacity , enabling more data to be stored in the same floor space than ever before . Addressing common industry pain point , the Mozaic 3 + will lead to lower storage acquisition and operational costs , including a 40 % improvement in per terabyte power consumption .
Combined with a sophisticated application-specific integrated circuit , it can deliver up to three times the performance compared to prior solutions . In addition to data centres , Mozaic 3 + storage technology will enable a wide range of use cases , ranging from enterprise , to edge , NAS , and video and imaging applications , VIA markets .
In the Middle East region , SkyHawk , its surveillance product , has the highest volume and is accepted within its Installer community . Built for video DVR and NVR security camera systems , SkyHawk delivers video-optimised storage , supporting workloads of up to 180TB , year , that is 64 simultaneously streaming HD cameras with zero dropped frames .
Mozaic 3 + can also help customers achieve sustainability goals , a top priority for large-scale data centres , by offering a 55 % reduction in embodied carbon per terabyte , when comparing a 30TB Mozaic 3 + drive with a traditional 16TB PMR drive .
Ideal for hyperscale cloud customers , Seagate ’ s Mozaic 3 + hard drive platform supports precision and bit stability thanks to pioneering iron-platinum superlattice structure and nanophotonic laser in its plasmonic writer sub-system . Featuring quantum technology , Mozaic 3 + also boasts one of the world ’ s smallest and most sensitive magnetic field reading sensors .
Built-in RV sensors allow SkyHawk drives to maintain performance in multi-bay systems , offering the flexibility to scale systems when more storage is needed . Seagate ’ s flagship product is its data storage product 5U 84 and 2U 12 , these data storage products serve both enterprise and surveillance ecosystems .
NVIDIA ’ s BlueField-3 DPU technology , VAST Data ’ s innovative parallel system architecture disaggregates its operating system into AI computing machinery , effectively converting supercomputers into highly efficient AI data engines . firms , and large , data-centric enterprises with a robust and high-performance AI infrastructure . p
This collaboration demonstrates the dedication to delivering unmatched performance , quality of service , and zero-trust security , all while optimising space , cost , and power efficiency for the AI Factory .
In addition to the strategic collaboration with NVIDIA , VAST Data announced a new partnership with SuperMicro , a significant stride towards realising its vision for AI computing . This comprehensive alliance aims to provide an end-to-end AI solution , simplifying the development and expansion of large-scale AI deployments . By harnessing SuperMicro ’ s expertise and cutting-edge technology , VAST Data seek to empower service providers , hyperscale technology
