Seagate 1200 Quick Reference Manual

Seagate 1200 SSD Quick Reference Guide

 Microsoft REQUIRES SAS for Micrsoft Server 2012, Release 2 -Storage Spaces High Availabilty

 Seagate 1200 SAS best solution for SSD Tier – designed for multi-host environments

 Bulding a storage array with best of breed solutions (Microsoft & Seagate) lower cost of

storage for the industry

SSD Can Alleviate Pain Points for:

 Business Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Not Being Met, end users become frustrated with

slow systems

 System Failed to Scale – As your business grows, storage systems don’t adequately scale

performance.

 Networked Storage Bogged Down – Just adding SSD to your SAN/NAS only provides a modest

performance improvement, the network fabric latencies remain the challenge

SSD Solves System Bottlenecks in a Fraction of the Time and Costs Instead of:

 Database Re-design and Testing
 Adding More Servers & Networked Storage (and all the TCO overhead involved)
 Re-architecting the Software Application

Seagate 1200 SAS SSD is Easy:

 1200 SAS is BEST FIT for muti-host, complex workloads of enterprise applications

o SATA not keeping pace with increasing performance of SSDs
o PCIe is the future, but still considerable industry standards work to be done

 1200 SAS is NOW – Approximately 300 million SAS slots installed in the industry in the past five

years

Seagate 1200 SAS for Virtual Server:

 Seagate 1200 SAS outperforms Fusion-IO and is lower cost
 Seagate 1200 SAS is easier to use and less expensive than PCIe
 SAS used as a server side cache – increases VM density by 4X in VMware environments
 Server side caching is optimal way to improve storage IO performance for virtualized servers

Seagate 1200 SAS for Database:

 Seagate 1200 SAS outperforms Hitachi, Toshiba and Intel in recent head-to-head database

performance testing

 Seagate 1200 SAS is compatible with virtually every SAS HBA, RAID card & chassis
 Databases are used in every company, and SSD is proven to improve database performance.
