New Entry Capacity Points and Unprecedented Cloud-scale Data Durability Enable Cloud and Enterprise Customers to Economically Scale Storage in Line with Business Growth
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Helping the world harness the power of data, Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ: WDC) today announced immediate worldwide availability of the new object storage-based HGST Active Archive System, SA-1000 model. Targeted for media and entertainment digital data preservation, life sciences data pools, and cloud backup, the HGST SA-1000 enables smaller object storage footprints with easy-to-manage building blocks to scale capacity as needed. Software enhancements have been added, including scale-up, scale-out, clustering, and end-to-end security features for all HGST Active Archive Systems.

With the ability to scale from 672 terabytes (TB) to 28 petabytes (PB) of total capacity geo-dispersed across three data centers in a single namespace, the SA-1000 brings dramatic deployment flexibility to customers wanting to start small, and scale as they grow. Cloud-scale data durability, secure data manageability, multi-geo data dispersion for wide-open access to data, and easy disaster recovery give enterprises the competitive advantage needed to tackle the challenges of storing, analyzing, and monetizing enormous amounts of unstructured data.
"World Wide Technology (WWT) is excited to work closely with Western Digital Corporation as a key reseller," said Rich Harper, leader of the Object Storage Practice within WWT. "I've been impressed with HGST's Active Archive platform and its ease of deployment, its performance throughput, as well as its very reasonable price per PB. Now, with the options to support an initially small-to-medium configuration, which can later easily expand to a jumbo one, it enables a much larger range of object storage deployment scenarios for our customers."
"Our long-term product strategy is to deliver a flexible, scalable capacity model in order to satisfy growing customer demand for a wide array of offerings to capture cloud storage footprints that were not previously addressed," said Barbara Murphy, vice president of marketing for Western Digital Corporation. "We are pleased to answer customer and end-user requests as object storage continues to proliferate throughout addressable vertical markets like media and entertainment, life sciences, and all things cloud storage."
The HGST Active Archive System, model number SA-1000 is available for immediate orders. The system will be sold through HGST sales partners, solution providers, system integrators and select OEMs. Multiple options for service and support are available.
