Seagate Enhances Realstor Storage Arrays

Seagate Technology plc announced enhancements to its AssuredSAN RealStor (RealStor) family of hybrid and all-flash storage arrays, enabling OEMs to provide customers with greater options for cost-competitive, high-performance midrange enterprise-class storage. Seagate now has additional powerful features in the RealStor 6004 hybrid storage array, already the product family’s highest performing solution.

Seagate’s RealStor product line (series 3000, 4000 and 6000) offers value, capacity and scalability. With a simple user interface, real-time tiering and virtual snapshots, the easy-to-manage arrays maximize capacity and performance while keeping costs at a minimum. Built on proven RAID technology with proven 99.999 percent availability, they deliver exceptional performance tuned for sequential workloads, ideal for high-performance computing, telecommunications data capture, oil and gas seismic data analysis, media streaming, video post-production and broadcasting. All of the arrays feature RealStor – the next-gen, real-time storage operating system – which uses intelligent autonomic tiering to configure fast solid state drives (SSDs) and low-cost high-density drives (HDDs) to set a price/performance benchmark for the midrange enterprise segment.

Enhancements to the RealStor family include the following: Greater Data Center Performance, Increased Data Center Versatility, and Powerful, Easy Disaster Recovery

In addition to enhancements across the product family, Seagate has updated the RealStor 6004 hybrid storage array, making it especially effective for general-purpose, enterprise data center applications. Furthermore, with RealSpan compatible across the product line, the powerful RealStor 6004 can be used to drive data centers, while replicating to lower cost arrays located off-site.
