The NAS market is expanding at a furious rate and is expected to
reach US $7B in 2017, as reported by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
Growing similarly is the demand for data and storage that small and
medium enterprise businesses need. IronWolf Pro is a new generation
of drives that can support this exponential growth now and for
years to come.
“An extension of Seagate’s Guardian Series of 10TB hard drives
launched in July, the IronWolf Pro gives businesses greater
durability and agility to run their heaviest workloads in large,
multi-user NAS environments,” said Jeff Fochtman, vice president of
global marketing at Seagate. “With the added peace of mind of
Seagate Rescue, businesses can know their data is safe.”
IronWolf is designed for everything business NAS. For example,
the IronWolf Pro is optimized for NAS with AgileArray™ to help
businesses enhance performance for file-sharing, backup and private
cloud environments. AgileArray delivers drive balancing by using
dual-plane balance and rotational vibration sensors, RAID
optimization for increased performance and advanced power
management.
“Synology’s innovative, enterprise-level storage and application
server is built to deliver flexibility and performance under
demanding situations,” said Chad Chiang, head of product management
at Synology. “We are always thrilled to see new additions to
Seagate’s hard drive line for NAS, including the IronWolf Pro,
which works seamlessly with Synology NAS to support the high
storage capacity required for a variety of organizations ranging
from small to larger businesses.”
Other key features include:
- Rotational vibration (RV)
sensors to support consistent performance by reducing vibration
in one-to-16-bay NAS systems.
- 10TB capacity, means more data to
serve for businesses. More capacity means more physical bay
space available for redundancy or more storage.
- Expanded multi-user capabilities
to deliver a user workload rate of 300TB per year – more than five
times the rate of a standard desktop drive.
- IronWolf Pro includes Seagate’s
market-leading Rescue Data Recovery service, which covers
accidental damage as well as damage caused by a natural disaster,
such as a fire or flood.
“Optimized for the most challenging NAS application
environments, the Seagate IronWolf Pro works efficiently to bring
out the best performance of QNAP NAS,” said Meiji Chang, general
manager of QNAP. “The IronWolf Pro also provides high storage
capacity to meet the increasing demands of data storage growth
across SMB and Enterprise NAS users, leaving no doubt that the
agile and powerful IronWolf Pro will empower NAS usage to a new
level.”
