RackTop Systems Collaborates with Seagate

RackTop Systems, Inc. announced a collaboration with Seagate Technology Holdings plc that combines its BrickStor Security Platform with Seagate’s enterprise storage systems and drives.

The RackTop cyber resilient solution uses active defense capabilities to isolate and contain an attack by blocking the offending clients from accessing further data while allowing legitimate users to operate as usual. An integrated incident workflow engine incorporates user behavior analytics to pinpoint affected files and instantly report them to administrators, security operations centers, and third-party applications. Paired with always-on immutable data protection, incidents are intelligently assessed to enable one-click automatic selecting of the appropriate files to remediate and recover, optimizing an organization’s ability to return to service quickly.

“Seagate’s enterprise storage systems with Seagate FIPS compliant disk drives combined with RackTop’s BrickStor cyberstorage software creates a scalable NAS appliance with unrivaled data security and performance,” says Jonathan Halstuch, CTO, RackTop. “The combined solution provides end-to-end FIPS encryption and key management for data at rest and in flight. Any organization can leverage the solution for immediate protection vs. ransomware and data theft at an economical price point.“

“Seagate is excited to collaborate with RackTop Systems by providing enterprise storage systems and Lyve Cloud services to enable its innovative BrickStor SP cyberstorage platform. Seagate’s unique Exos CORVAULT systems provide high capacity, data protection and self-healing features with direct attach SAS connections while the Exos X SAN arrays provide the same features for SAN environments,” said Erik Salo, VP products and markets, Seagate. “Seagate enterprise storage systems enable RackTop customers to benefit from Seagate’s storage system and disk drive innovations while using the highest capacity HDDs to meet the reliability, capacity and cost requirements of enterprise customers.“

This turnkey solution offers a data-centric, zero trust architecture and includes Seagate’s enterprise storage systems and Seagate Exos X HDDs with Seagate Secure SEDs (self-encrypting drives) that provide FIPS-validated encryption for data at rest. Seagate provides industry storage systems, HDDs, and SSDs to meet enterprise workload or use case.

The offering will support Exos E JBOD systems, Exos X FC and iSCSI SANs, and Exos CORVAULT self-healing block storage system, as well as integrate with Seagate Lyve Cloud object storage via RackTop’s secure transparent data gateway feature.
