First U.S. Location Lets Customers Evaluate Seagate Nytro Flash
Accelerator Cards, SAS SSDs and Enterprise Capacity HDDs in QCT
Offerings to Help Guide Their Purchase Decisions
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX) is bringing technology and expertise
to Quanta Cloud Technology’s newest solution center, which celebrated
its grand opening last week in San Jose, Calif. The QCT Cloud Solution
Center, in conjunction with technology leaders such as Seagate, is one
of many planned in a global initiative to help meet the growing needs of
next generation data centers.
The centers will enable QCT customers – such as financial institutions,
web cloud providers, and e-commerce retailers – to assess various
configurations before they purchase a solution. Several different
Seagate products will be showcased and can be tested by customers,
including enterprise-class HDDs, SAS SSDs and Nytro® flash
accelerator cards. The solution center will also demonstrate
configurations using these Seagate technologies, including
software-defined data center configurations, a virtual desktop
infrastructure block series solution, a turnkey OpenStack cloud solution
and a “cloud-in-a-box” configuration. Customers will receive hands-on
experience and direct counsel from experts, which can be applied and
customized to their own architectures.
“Storage needs for customers running on new software-defined and
hyper-converged platforms in hyperscale, cloud and enterprise data
centers are growing and becoming more complex,” said Brett Pemble, vice
president and general manager of flash products for Seagate Technology,
who also attended the grand opening and participated in a panel.
“Building upon our efforts with QCT since 1991, these solution centers
enable our common customers to benefit from Seagate and QCT
solution-level products and evaluate them before deployment in their own
production environments.”
QCT’s first Cloud Solution Center opened in Taipei, Taiwan in April
2015. Several more are planned around the world.
“As one of the world’s largest suppliers to cloud data centers, QCT is
experiencing rapid growth as the cloud computing industry accelerates,”
said Mike Yang, general manager of QCT. “Our new Cloud Solution Centers
will give our customers first-hand experience with solutions they look
to deploy in their own environments. We are excited that Seagate will be
showcased at the San Jose Cloud Solution Center to further promote our
engagement that is redefining storage.”
The San Jose Solution Center grand opening included a keynote address
and panel discussion sessions, as well as guided tours and
demonstrations. For more information, please visit http://www.qct.io/catalog/microsite/QCT_solution_center/index.html.
