Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
John Rydning, IDC’s Research Director for hard disk drives said: “Standardizing on enterprise-class small form factor disk drives with a SAS 2.0 interface, like Seagate’s Savvio 15K.2 drive, will allow for economies of scale for the storage industry.
“IDC expects that shipments of small form factor enterprise class drives into enterprise storage solutions will overtake traditional 3.5-inch enterprise class drives in the marketplace by 2009.”
Phil Bullinger, the executive vice president of the Engenio Storage Group, LSI said: “LSI continues to take an active role with Seagate in helping to deliver on next-generation enterprise storage requirements.
“Transitioning to a small form factor platform with built-in security and 6Gb/s SAS is a powerful combination for the new Seagate Unified Storage architecture. LSI supports this transition and sees it aligning well with our customers’ needs.”
Seagate are also keenly continuing to target the lucrative and important government dollar, promising its Savvio drives offer “government-grade security to reduce drive retirement costs & complexity” though its “optional Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology”.
Seagate says that SED technology “makes drive retirement and disposal easy by eliminating the need for the numerous manual processes involved which are often incomplete, complex, expensive, or prone to error.
“For critical information that must remain secure, and because all systems are eventually retired, whether being relocated, re-purposed, or disposed of, the information on a Savvio SED drive remains AES-safe.”
When are both Savvio drives available?
The Seagate Savvio 15K.2 and Savvio 10K.3 drives are “expected to begin shipping in December”, while models featuring the “optional SED” technology are expected during Q1 2009.
