Seagate Government Solutions Group Responds with Storage Systems
Engineered for High Performance Computing
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX) today announced the formation of
Seagate Government Solutions, a new U.S.-based business entity dedicated
to helping address the growing data-management needs of government
agencies.
The new Seagate entity will focus on the federal government’s big data,
high performance computing (HPC), and security needs. Seagate Government
Solutions will draw from Seagate’s purpose-engineered HPC and security
storage technology – encompassing a robust supply chain, from components
and storage devices to file systems – to deliver the levels of security,
performance, efficiency, complexity reduction and risk mitigation
especially needed in this space.
Deb Oliver, a former Lockheed Martin and Vencore executive with over 30
years of experience working with the federal government, will lead
Seagate Government Solutions. Paul Kaminski — former U.S. Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology, and Chairman and
CEO of consulting company Technovation — will serve as Chairman of the
Seagate Government Solutions board.
“Federal agencies are under increasing pressure to efficiently manage
and store growing data, and ensure it stays in the right hands,” said
Deb Oliver, President, Seagate Government Solutions. “At the same time,
they’re faced with unique challenges that come with security
requirements and budget limitations. Seagate Government Solutions’
investment in these organizations provides them with innovative,
end-to-end HPC technology specifically tailored for their needs.”
Seagate Government Solutions will build on its leadership in federal
initiatives, including Seagate’s ClusterStor™ Secure Data Appliance
(SDA), the industry’s first secure scale-out parallel file system
solution. A proven technology developed specifically for the federal
space, ClusterStor SDA enables tens of thousands of clients with
different classifications to connect to a single-server storage
environment, only allowing access to those who should have it. The
solution meets standard intelligence directive policies, and reduces
costs for purchasing and maintaining storage. ClusterStor SDA provides
the means to implement all the necessary Mandatory Access Control,
explicit audit logging and tracking, and encryption and support
capabilities to enforce access control privileges.
Seagate is also helping pioneer the Multilevel Security (MLS) Ecosystem,
a joint effort in collaboration with multiple organizations to address
data security requirements for the federal government. The MLS Ecosystem
is a framework of integrated, automated technology that enables secure
workflow for government customers, eliminating costly data stovepipes
while accommodating various levels of security clearance.
“Seagate Government Solutions will make it possible for the federal
government to excel in the latest technology engineered for HPC, despite
– and perhaps because of – its rigorous security demands,” said Paul
Kaminski, Chairman of the Seagate Government Solutions board. “This is
crucial in the era of Big Data, and the group will strive to achieve
this by forging new partnerships and driving new innovations.”
Seagate Government Solutions Group will be exhibiting at the
Supercomputing 2015 show November 16-19 in Austin, Texas, and will be
stationed at Seagate’s booth 473 (across from the Seagate main booth
568). Seagate’s SDA storage will be featured as part of the
“Architecting, Implementing, and Supporting Multi-Level Security
Eco-System in HPC, ISR, Big Data Analysis and Other Environments”
tutorial on Sunday, November 15th.
