Seagate Lyve Drive Rack - Open Object Storage, Simplified
Store more for less with this tightly integrated solution.

Features:

Store More for Less

Object storage software licensing often exceeds the cost of storage capacity.

Seagate is revolutionizing enterprise storage with Lyve Drive Rack by lowering the cost of storage software and enabling higher capacity workloads. We integrate CORTX™, our open source, mass capacity object storage (up to 1.5PB of raw storage capacity) with Seagate hardware to let you store more data.

• Store up to 4x the data for the same budget
• Community-driven features leverage leading-edge HDD capacity, performance, and efficiency innovations
• Tightly integrated, converged hardware and software bundle allows you to economically consolidate massive unstructured data sets required for AI, machine learning, and high-performance compute training models

Reliable, Safe, Secure

Self-healing technology assures high availability, repair, and integrity.

• Lyve Drive Rack incorporates Seagate ASICs, purpose-built as an erasure coding engine for optimal performance and efficiency
• Seagate ADAPT software dramatically reduces failed disk rebuild time and improves erasure coding efficiency

Key Advantages

• CORTX™ Object Storage System is an open source, software-defined object storage with vibrant community support.
• Designed for maximum scalability, resiliency, and hardware efficiency. CORTX was designed by high-performance computing architects.
• CORTX has no global locks.
• CORTX distributes metadata management across all servers for maximum scalability and concurrency.
• Hierarchical erasure coding provides the multi-tiered data protection across various data center failure scenarios for a scale-out solution.
• Vertical integration benefits. Low-level hardware innovations like HAMR and multiactuator can be co-developed with the software. Any new capabilities introduced in hardware can be addressed in the software, thereby ensuring that new hardware can be quickly produced.
• CORTX functionality is available for enterprise customers as part of the Lyve Drive Rack offering running Lyve CORTX, a certified and supported version of CORTX open source code. It is compatible with a broad range of servers that meet the appropriate requirements in terms of minimum number of processors, memory, and networking.
• Easy to set up, maintain, and deploy. All system components-power supply units, system cooling fans, the controller, the firmware, and the drives-are developed and optimized to work together seamlessly. This reduces support calls and eliminates technical learning curves.
• CORTX Object Storage Solution with high capacity and high performance.
• Build in security with ADAPT technology. Protect the most valuable business assets with Seagate Secure™ cybersecurity features and intelligent firmware. Rebuild drives faster and reduce downtime with Seagate ADAPT data protection technology.
