SeagateTechnology Holdings has announced plans to expand Seagate Lyve Cloud to new regions. The company also plans to increase offerings including Lyve Cloud Archive storage service and Lyve Cloud Marketplace.
Seagate is aiming to take the Lyve Cloud portfolio to new cities in the US, Oklahoma City, Washington DC, and Dallas; United Kingdom; Germany; India; and Japan. Lyve Cloud is currently present in 10 regions in the US and Singapore.
The company is also rolling out Lyve Cloud Marketplace, claimed to be a one-stop-shop for Seagate Lyve Cloud validated partner solutions. Lyve Cloud Marketplace will enable customers to purchase tailored solutions from Seagate Lyve Cloud partners and get access to an integrated procurement and billing process from a single platform.
Additionally, Seagate is launching Lyve Cloud Archive, a cloud storage service that claims to deliver total cost of ownership (TCO) without complex data management tiering or hidden fees. Seagate Lyve Cloud Archive provides TCO advantages with features of Seagate’s flagship Lyve Cloud object storage service to support data security, mobility and durability. The archival-only cloud storage is ideal for large-scale video and image repositories, secondary data sets, backup copies and any data that lives outside of 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. The Certification will allow the company to extend Seagate Lyve Cloud service to the healthcare industry and medical service providers.
“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 vice president of storage services and CIO at Seagate. “Lyve Cloud Marketplace bolsters our offerings by making it easy to find and shop partner applications that integrate with Seagate Lyve Cloud. We are looking forward to growing the marketplace with more partners to come.”
Seagate Lyve Cloud is built to enable multi-cloud freedom, allowing the customers to retain full control of their data while lowering the cloud TCO for storing, accessing and moving massive data sets.
