Preview of Kinetic

Lowers TCO

Disaggregates storage from compute

Improves performance

Increases innovation, agility and efficiency

The Kinetic Open Storage Platform:

3

Object Storage – EG Swift

• Storage For the Web – accessed via APIs/URLs. Images, Videos, Sensor data, IoT data, DB, tweets, FB entries, email

• Infinitely scalable, ultra reliable, (eventually consistent)

• Metered - Pay as you go – Self serviced – Write once, read occasionally.

• Language is Puts and Gets over IP

File Storage

• Local FS or NAS, protocols CIFS, NFS – mounted, relationship based. Shared files, company-wide access.

• Scalability, reliability and cost constrained.

• Great for partial file access, Relational DB, content editing/rendering.

• Open, Close, Read, Write, Append, Chmod, Chown, Touch, Delete, Copy, Move

Block Storage

• The native language of Hard Disk Drives. No concept of files, Operating systems etc.

• Antiquated but very standardised. Of no benefit to the higher layers. Private.

• Need to know Direct Attached and SAN storage, FC, iSCSI, SAS, SATA, LUNs, provisioning, snapshot, etc…

• Read, Write, Format, on SCSI (over SAS, iSCSI or FC) or SATA

44ZB Amount of data

will be created

2020 – Capacity requirement exceeds supply

Get used to it!

13ZB Amount of data

that will need to

be stored

6.5ZB Amount of data that

installed capacity will be

able to hold

Now

Drive “clumping” to very large pools

I.T. is what the CSP does

Take cost out of the stack

Complexity sprawl, tiering, SDx

Channel - central

Why now is different

Then

Phenomenal Capacity growth

OEM centric

High value Storage stacks

HDD guys as servants

Channel - afterthought

10

HDD Vendors

now have significant input into how

storage is done

now contributing to the discussion

and thought leadership

taking responsibility to engage

further up the stack

Why now is different

Seagate

is leading the way in these new

engagements

engaging with all major CSPs and

disk users WW

redefining the engagement with

the rest of the industry
