2. Preview of Kinetic
Lowers TCO
Disaggregates storage from compute
Improves performance
Increases innovation, agility and efficiency
The Kinetic Open Storage Platform:
3. 3
Object Storage – EG Swift
• Storage For the Web – accessed via APIs/URLs. Images, Videos, Sensor data, IoT data, DB, tweets, FB entries, email
• Infinitely scalable, ultra reliable, (eventually consistent)
• Metered - Pay as you go – Self serviced – Write once, read occasionally.
• Language is Puts and Gets over IP
File Storage
• Local FS or NAS, protocols CIFS, NFS – mounted, relationship based. Shared files, company-wide access.
• Scalability, reliability and cost constrained.
• Great for partial file access, Relational DB, content editing/rendering.
• Open, Close, Read, Write, Append, Chmod, Chown, Touch, Delete, Copy, Move
Block Storage
• The native language of Hard Disk Drives. No concept of files, Operating systems etc.
• Antiquated but very standardised. Of no benefit to the higher layers. Private.
• Need to know Direct Attached and SAN storage, FC, iSCSI, SAS, SATA, LUNs, provisioning, snapshot, etc…
• Read, Write, Format, on SCSI (over SAS, iSCSI or FC) or SATA

Now
Drive “clumping” to very large pools
I.T. is what the CSP does
Take cost out of the stack
Complexity sprawl, tiering, SDx
Channel - central
Why now is different
Then
Phenomenal Capacity growth
OEM centric
High value Storage stacks
HDD guys as servants
Channel - afterthought
10. 10
HDD Vendors
now have significant input into how
storage is done
now contributing to the discussion
and thought leadership
taking responsibility to engage
further up the stack
Why now is different
Seagate
is leading the way in these new
engagements
engaging with all major CSPs and
disk users WW
redefining the engagement with
the rest of the industry
