Seagate Exos Enterprise Hard Drives: Powering the Datasphere Seagate Exos Enterprise Hard Drives are the driving force behind the datasphere, providing the performance, reliability, and ROI needed for demanding 24x7 operations. With their scalability, responsiveness, and innovation, these hard drives are the ideal solution for hyperscale applications and cloud data centers. Scalable, Responsive, and Innovative For hyperscale environments, there's no better option than ExosTM X. These powerful hard drives, including the Exos X16, X12, and X10, are designed to support scalable, secure, and reliable cloud data centers. With low power consumption and weight, these hard drives consistently perform while meeting the strict TCO requirements of most cloud-based data centers. Best-Fit Applications Seagate Exos Enterprise Hard Drives are the perfect fit for a variety of applications, including: Hyperscale applications/cloud data centers Massive scale-out data centers for OLTP and HPC applications High-capacity density RAID storage Mainstream enterprise external storage arrays Distributed file systems, such as Hadoop and Ceph Enterprise backup and restore, including D2D, virtual tape, and centralized surveillance Built-in Data Protection With Seagate Secure Instant Secure Erase drives, data-at-rest is protected and drive repurposing and disposal are made simple. These hard drives also comply with corporate and federal data security mandates, providing three levels of security: Secure Downloads Diagnostics (SDD), TCG compliant Self-Encrypting Drive, and government-grade FIPS/Common Criteria tamper-resistant hard drive. Data Management Made Easy Managing infrastructure is made easier with the FastFormat feature, which supports advanced formats (4Kn and 512e). Additionally, PowerChoice technology allows for unprecedented power savings during idle times, improving TCO. And when it's time for disposal or repurposing, Instant Secure Erase makes it easy to securely erase the drive.
