In today’s age of mass data processing, hard disks play an important role in facilitating storage and retrieval, as well as the protection of data and information. Enterprise organizations are particularly concerned about ensuring that hard disk capacity, power consumption, reliability, and cost per-GB, meets their individual requirements when choosing storage solutions. In addition to supporting 4TB storage disks, Huawei has converged SAN and NAS storage protocols in its T Series portfolio to allow for simplified storage architecture, reduced network deployment complexity, and lower costs in procurement, operation and maintenance (O&M). The enhanced T Series portfolio was developed in partnership with industry-leading hard disk vendor Seagate Technology.

Wes Perdue, Director of PLM Cloud Strategy, Seagate, said: “Seagate is pleased to strengthen our strategic partnership with Huawei by providing our sixth-generation enterprise-level 3.5-inch disks for Huawei’s innovative storage solutions. This generation of disks provides 4TB per-disk capacity, the largest in the industry, which is ideal for 24/7 data storage, cloud computing, and data centre solutions. The collaboration between Seagate and Huawei, and the use of this latest technology, allows Huawei to provide more high-quality storage solutions with superior performance to its customers.”

Fan Ruiqi, President of Huawei’s Storage Product Line, said: “With its large capacity and low power consumption, the 4TB hard disks position Huawei’s innovative Universal Distributed Storage system as an ideal EB-level storage solution for enterprise organizations. It provides 300TB storage capacity within a 4U space in a standard IT cabinet, raising the storage density to 75TB/1U and helping customers save on their initial investment, as well as subsequent O&M costs. The advanced distributed architecture and object storage technology also allow the smooth expansion of the system to 300PB, ensuring it is able to meet the evolving storage needs of enterprises.”

Huawei and Seagate have a long history of strategic partnership in areas including technology development, talent development and customer service. Additionally, Huawei has been dedicated to innovation in the storage field for the past 10 years. Drawing on its decade-long efforts in R&D, as well as the company’s extensive experience in the technology industry, Huawei has established a comprehensive storage portfolio covering disk storage system, network attached system, storage attached network, application storage and cloud storage system. Delivering on its commitment to serving as an optimal partner for enterprises, Huawei collaborates closely with partners to provide simpler and more converged storage solutions to customers across key industries.
