What is Seagate Exos CORVAULT?
Exos CORVAULT is a high-performing, efficient, durable multi-petabyte capacity block storage system that is self-healing and brings five-nines availability to scale out storage for data center deployments. CORVAULT breakthrough technologies provide hyperscale efficiencies, rapid deployment, and automatic hard drive renewal for less e-waste and operational costs.
Experience enterprise storage that’s like a single hard drive with multi-petabyte capacity. CORVAULT delivers to data centers hyperscale efficiencies, rapid deployment, streamlined data management, and reduced human intervention.
The solution reduces e-waste by supporting sustainable data center architectures that consume less host CPU, RAM, and networking resources up to 50%, which slashes CO2 footprint and reduces total rack power consumption by 30%.
This is all enabled by Seagate breakthrough data protection technologies using Exos enterprise hard drives and Seagate storage controllers, including Autonomic Distributed Allocation Protection Technology (ADAPT) erasure coding combined with Autonomous Drive Regeneration (ADR) to automatically renew hard drives on demand.
How does Autonomous Drive Regeneration work?
Renew drives automatically with built-in Seagate ADAPT and Autonomous Drive Regeneration (ADR).
While data creation is growing exponentially, IT teams and budgets are not. That’s why we built CORVAULT. As a set-and-forget solution, you can store mass data with less human intervention. The system heals itself on the fly thanks to Seagate Autonomous Drive Regeneration (ADR). That means fewer opportunities for human error and more cost savings.
ADR reduces the environmental impact of computer e-waste as ADR drives are renewed instead of discarded, and it dramatically reduces manual drive swaps.
ADAPT protects data for automatic uptime rebuilds without compromising performance, storage utilization and availability — delivering rapid rebuilds, storage efficiency, improved sustainability and reduced downtime.
What does Mozaic 3+ add to CORVAULT?
Breakthrough hard drive technology. Exos CORVAULT 4U106 now includes Seagate Mozaic 3+ drive technology, which delivers unprecedented areal densities.
Mozaic 3+ in Exos CORVAULT 4U106 contributes to improved levels of terabyte-per-square-foot efficiency by way of the high-capacity disks.
Seagate Mozaic 3+ extends the hyperscale efficiencies already built into Exos CORVAULT, enabling storage infrastructure and data center architectures to consume less host CPU, RAM, networking and power resources per terabyte (TB), reducing the rack power consumption and CO2 footprints per TB.
Mozaic 3+ provides a capacity roadmap extending beyond conventional hard drive limitations.
