Many organizations are looking for low-cost, high-density, \u201centerprise-ready\u201d storage options that offer additional data services, operational benefits, and advanced features over and above typical JBOD systems. Seagate<\/a> Exos CORVAULT delivers all that and more with an easy-to-consume, high-capacity solution that bridges the gap between storage arrays and JBODs, providing a powerful combination of availability, efficiency, and management.<\/p>\n

Seagate Exos CORVAULT Hardware Overview<\/span><\/h3>\n

Seagate<\/a> has been in the disk drive business for over three decades covering commercial, enterprise, and consumer products. The latest storage technology out of Seagate<\/a> is CORVAULT, a fully-integrated, modular system that includes drives, power supplies, cooling, and other components that deliver a single package that supports over 2.0PB of storage. CORVAULT is a high-performance, self-healing block storage system that provides multi-petabyte capacity, five-nines availability, and hyperscale efficiencies for data center and macro-edge environments.<\/p>\n

ADAPT Data Protection<\/span><\/h3>\n

CORVAULT is built to provide high availability and durability, with features like dual-ported disk drives and redundant power supplies that deliver \u201cfive-nines\u201d enterprise-grade uptime. Seagate<\/a>\u2019s latest erasure encoding data protection software, ADAPT, streamlines overhead, throughput, management, and recovery and replaces traditional RAID types with a protection scheme that distributes the parity across a larger set of HDDs.<\/p>\n

ADAPT is not just another acronym. System administrators will benefit from a system that is easier to maintain and expand. ADAPT\u2019s parallel architecture reduces rebuild time by up to 95 percent, meaning a rebuild that used to take days can be completed in minutes. The self-healing system automatically allocates spare capacity to recover common device failures. Although the drives must be the same type, mixed drive capacities are supported to maximize usable capacity and reduce the cost per TB.<\/p>\n

Self-Healing With ADR<\/span><\/h3>\n

Seagate<\/a>\u2019s Autonomous Drive Regeneration (ADR) is a system that heals itself on the fly. ADR is only possible with Seagate<\/a>\u2019s ADAPT data protection, designed as a solution to reduce human intervention. By automatically renewing instead of discarding hard drives, ADR reduces the environmental impact of computer e-waste. ADR minimizes the need to swap disk drives and, in many cases, returns them to dependable service by reconfiguring the drive to bypass problematic components.<\/p>\n

Easy to Manage, Energy Efficient, and Secure<\/span><\/h3>\n

Seagate<\/a> provides well-documented procedures to install and set up CORVAULT. The system is designed to be easy to get up and running, with an intuitive web-based management interface and various monitoring and diagnostic tools. There is also a command line interface used for the initial setup.<\/p>\n

Intuitive Management Interface<\/span><\/h3>\n

Seagate<\/a> provides precise details for rack mounting CORVAULT, connecting cables, powering up, and logging in. After the unit is racked and ready to power up, there are some initial tasks to connect to and configure the system, such as setting up a user, logging in, and setting a valid IP address for each controller module (CM) serial COM port.<\/p>\n

There are three options for accessing CORVAULT:<\/p>\n
