The Seagate Kinetic Open Storage Platform fundamentally changes how storage devices interface with applications in the object storage world. As the creation of unstructured data continues to double every two years, the traditional paradigm of a hardware-centric, file-based storage infrastructure becomes increasingly inefficient and costly to manage and maintain for scale-out data centers. The Kinetic platform has huge implications on not only CAPEX and OPEX, but also storage density and performance through a complete disaggregation of storage from compute. Seagate's Advanced Storage team will discuss the joint work being done with in scale out storage on Swift and utilizing the Seagate Kinetic Open Storage Platform.
