Seagate Expands Cloud Storage Regions and Enhances Offerings

Seagate Technology is significantly expanding the global reach of its cloud object storage infrastructure. The company has introduced several new regions for its Lyve Cloud service, alongside the launch of the Lyve Cloud Archive storage and the Lyve Cloud Marketplace, which includes new partnerships.

This expansion is designed to help businesses better store, access, and manage massive datasets in multicloud environments while maintaining complete control over their data. By broadening its infrastructure, Seagate aims to meet the growing demand for efficient and scalable cloud storage solutions.

New Cloud Regions Across the Globe

Seagate has added several key regions to support its Lyve Cloud, further strengthening its presence in North America, Europe, and Asia. New locations include Oklahoma City and Washington D.C. in the U.S., as well as the U.K., Germany, India, and Japan. These new regions expand Seagate’s existing footprint, which already includes the U.S. and Singapore, bringing the total number of Lyve Cloud regions to 10 with 16 availability zones.

Tailored Solutions for Data Storage

The Lyve Cloud Archive storage service is optimized for businesses managing large-scale video and image repositories, secondary datasets, and backups. It is designed for data that doesn’t require constant analysis or transactional processing, making it ideal for businesses with vast amounts of stored data. The introduction of these services will offer businesses a predictable and cost-effective way to store data outside of high-demand workflows.

Additionally, the Lyve Cloud Marketplace is now available, allowing customers to explore and purchase tailored solutions from Seagate’s cloud partners. This marketplace integrates procurement and billing processes to simplify cloud purchases for users.

A Focus on Data Accessibility and Cloud Economics

Seagate’s new regions are aimed at improving data accessibility at metro edges, making it easier for customers to store and retrieve data efficiently. According to Ravi Naik, Seagate’s CIO and EVP of storage services, the expansion provides “predictable and compelling cloud economics,” making the service more attractive for businesses looking to scale their storage without compromising on performance.

Looking ahead, Seagate plans to continue expanding the Lyve Cloud Marketplace, bringing in more partners to offer a wider range of solutions for its customers.

Conclusion

With the expansion of Lyve Cloud’s global reach and the introduction of new services like the Lyve Cloud Archive and Marketplace, Seagate is positioning itself as a key player in the cloud storage industry. By improving accessibility and offering tailored solutions for data storage, Seagate is making it easier for businesses to manage their ever-growing datasets in an efficient and cost-effective way.
