Seagate Lyve Cloud Expands to 7 Regions and Adds Offerings

Seagate Technology Holdings plc plans to expand its Lyve Cloud regions and offerings including Lyve Cloud Archive storage service and Lyve Cloud marketplace.

The expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to solving data complexity challenges and serving the mass data ecosystems with the object storage service designed for multicloud freedom.

The expansion plan includes new Lyve Cloud regions in Oklahoma City, OK,Washington DC, and Dallas, TX, as well as tUK, Germany, India, and Japan. The new regions will complement the company’s Lyve Cloud presence in tUSA and Singapore, for a total of 10 regions with 16 availability zones.

The company is also rolling out Lyve Cloud marketplace, a one-stop shop for Lyve Cloud validated partner solutions.

Additionally, Seagate is launching Lyve Cloud Archive, an independent cloud storage service that delivers TCO without complex data management tiering or hidden fees. Lyve Cloud Archive provides TCO advantages with features of Lyve Cloud object storage service to support data security, mobility and durability. The archival-only cloud storage is for large-scale video and image repositories, secondary data sets, backup copies and any data that lives outside of an analytics or transaction-intensive workflow.

As part of the expansion, Seagate is also working to secure Health Information Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance certification in the US. Certification will allow the company to extend Lyve Cloud service to the healthcare industry and medical service providers who must follow data privacy and compliance requirements.

“To better serve customers’ data management challenges, we are expanding the cloud regions, increasing data accessibility at metro edges, and offering Lyve Cloud Archive with predictable and compelling cloud economics for customers’ mass data growth,” said Ravi Naik, executive VP of storage services and CIO. “Lyve Cloud Marketplace bolsters our offerings by making it easy to find and shop partner applications that integrate with Lyve Cloud. We are looking forward to growing the marketplace with more partners to come.“

Lyve Cloud is built to enable multicloud freedom, allowing the customers to retain control of their data while lowering the cloud TCO for storing, accessing and moving massive data sets. It is vendor-agnostic, providing frictionless cloud capabilities with simplicity, flexibility and cost predictability.
