Seagatehas announced a newdata transferservice to help businesses move vast amounts of data from in-house silos to theircloud computingdata centers.
Offered as part of itsSeagate Lyveportfolio of products, the new Lyve Data Transfer Services (DTS) is vendor-agnostic and works with private, public, and hybridcloud hostingenvironments.
“With only a fraction of enterprise data being put to work due to economics and storage complexities, Seagate has simplified how mass capacity data is securely captured, aggregated, transported, and managed,” said Jeff Fochtman, senior vice president of marketing at Seagate Technology.
Data transfers
Seagate relies on its own Rethink Data report that estimated that businesses accumulate data at an average annual growth rate of 42.2%. More than half of the thousand businesses surveyed frequently moved data from their endpoints at the edge to the cloud and the average size of the data transfer was 473TB.
The Lyve DTS is designed to speed up the move.
Seagate says that the service is made up of several components including the Lyve Mobile modular and scalable hardware that’s been purpose-built for secure mass-capacity edge data storage, as well as lift-and-shift initiatives to facilitate the movement of data.
To illustrate the usefulness of the service, the release banks on the example of the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) at the University of Southern California, which faced difficulties pushing4K raw video footagethrough its 35Mbit/s network.
