Collaboration with Equinix brings additional
access, compute, and data center colocation
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader in data
storage and management solutions, today introduced LyveTM Cloud
storage-as-a-service platform, an S3-compatible storage-only cloud.
Lyve Cloud enables always-on mass capacity data storage and
activation. It is designed as a simple, trusted, and efficient
service allowing enterprises to unlock the value of their massive
unstructured datasets. Seagate is collaborating with Equinix, the
world’s digital infrastructure company, to make Lyve Cloud
accessible to more customers. This collaboration will provide
extensive interconnect opportunities for additional cloud services
and geographical expansion.
“Lyve Cloud is a natural extension of Seagate’s leadership in
mass data solutions, combining our mass capacity HDD innovation
with deep storage industry knowledge to help customers activate
more of their valuable data,” said Ravi Naik, executive vice
president, storage services, and chief information officer at
Seagate. “According to Seagate’s Rethink Data report, as much as
68% of data available to enterprises goes unused. By providing a
reliable and cost-efficient cloud storage solution at the metro
edge, closer to where their data is generated, Lyve Cloud lets
enterprises store and activate their data at scale, securely and
efficiently.”
By locating Lyve Cloud infrastructure in close proximity to
Equinix Metal™ within Equinix International Business Exchange™
(IBX®) data centers, customers can consume the scale and efficiency
of object storage as a service at the metro edge, while leveraging
Equinix Fabric™ to interconnect sources of data to a variety of
edge and cloud-based applications for hybrid and multicloud
architectures. Placing Lyve Cloud infrastructure in metro edge
colocation data centers also enables reduced latency because data
is stored and processed closer to where it is generated.
“We see a lot of synergy in collaborating with Seagate to help
our customers increase their digital advantage,” stated Eric
Schwartz, chief strategy officer of Equinix. “Leveraging Lyve Cloud
and Platform Equinix, customers have an optimized, cost-effective
object storage option to make their cloud truly composable.
Equinix’s position at the Metro Edge enables Lyve Cloud to address
use cases that demand data storage and activation, accelerating
digital transformation initiatives such as disaster recovery,
hybrid and multi-cloud, storage for bare metal services, AI and
Machine Learning.”
Lyve Cloud offers privacy, no lock-in, and no egress fees,
allowing customers to retain full control of their data while
lowering TCO for storing massive datasets. Lyve Cloud’s ISO27001
and SOC2 certifications meet the data security needs of enterprise
customers and provide always-on encryption for data in motion and
at rest.
“Enterprises are increasingly recognizing the need to store more
of their business-critical data for longer periods of time, not
only for business continuity, but also to harness its potential for
analytics and deep learning,” said Wenceslao Lada, vice president,
technical alliances, Commvault. “With Commvault’s seamless
integration and full compatibility with Seagate Lyve Cloud,
end-users now have a compelling new option for cloud storage that
enables worry-free, longer term data retention with predictable
cost economics and simple recovery capabilities.”
“As CIO, three things I most seek for from any solution are
predictability, security, and no lock-ins,” said Sudhakar
Chilukuri, CIO Lattice Semiconductor. “Lyve Cloud features fit
these needs very well. We don’t have to replace anything but can
add Lyve Cloud for certain data workloads. It's critical to choose
a cloud storage strategy that has transparent pricing, no ingress,
and egress fees, and is reliable and performant.”
Seagate’s Lyve Cloud and Lyve Solutions are built with mass data
in mind. These solutions, including modular hardware and software,
deliver a portfolio that streamlines data access, transport, and
management for today’s enterprise. Lyve Cloud is offered at
multiple locations in the United States and in other countries in
