April 2016 by Marc Jacob
Western Digital Corporation and Veritas Technologies, announced that the HGST Active Archive System is now certified with Veritas NetBackup™ enterprise data protection software. The combined solution, through native configuration and management, delivers massive object store capacity scaling and reduced backup complexity via an economical private cloud. Enterprise users can cut administrative costs and infrastructure overhead, including the high costs associated with tape management, tape rotation and offsite storage and retrievals.
WDC’s HGST Active Archive System is an easy-to-deploy, Amazon S3®-compliant, scale-out object storage solution with the ability to scale from 672 terabytes (TB) to 28 petabytes (PB) of usable capacity. Leveraging enterprise-class HelioSeal® helium-filled disk drive technology and end-to-end optimization of software and hardware, the system provides the industry’s best capacity, density, and TCO that rivals the economics of traditional tape and cloud infrastructures. Utilizing distributed erasure coding, it is capable of surviving an entire data center outage, maintaining a global consistent view and data accessibility from any location.
