Editor's Notes

  • #3 We’ve gone through several changes that have defined HGST. We have a proud legacy from strong companies in our history: IBM, Hitachi and now Western Digital. Key details: IBM Inventor of first HDD, RAMAC, in 1956 2003 Hitachi, Ltd., acquires IBM STD for $2.05B and establishes Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) 2011 WDC announces intent to acquire Hitachi GST from Hitachi, Ltd. 2012 WDC acquires Hitachi GST for $4.xB WDC required by MOFCOM China to create two separate subsidiaries, HGST & WD Deep storage industry roots at both subsidiaries Strong product portfolios, deep technology resources and great people at each subsidiary Shared common values of customer delight, value creation, consistent profitability and growth Leveraged Resources--Advanced technology innovation* *Specific Pre-Approved Projects
  • #12 Here is another example where we can reduce TCO by comparing a smaller data center that wants to build out 11 petabytes of storage. When using a 2Ux12 configuration… 11 petabytes of storage will require 8 Racks of 6TB air hard drives, as shown in black. However, if you use the He8, you only require 6 racks. In this configuration, you will be using 60% less power … and 25 percent less space. And that means 25 percent less racks, cables, and other maintenance items
  • #19 KAYAK is a leading online provider of travel services. “Search one and done” is their motto, serving more than 10 million users and growing at nearly 25% per year, the company needed to address it’s sprawling server environment based on MySQL. They turned to Virident | HGST for answers. Here’s a quick look at the before and after experience: Before Large server farms leveraging disk form-factor SSDs Exponential user growth causing massive server sprawl Large storage infrastructure footprint leading to very high management costs Escalating data center costs due to space and power constraints After Allows housing 4 instances per server leading to 4:1 server consolidation 4x increase in performance density yields high hosting capacity, control server sprawl Accommodates higher user growth and increased revenue Lower management overhead and lower data center costs
