Seagate Technology (NYSE: STX), the world’s leading supplier of hard disc drives, will host a forum on the subject: Mission Control – Maximizing Data Management, on Wednesday, September 13, 2006 in Taipei and on Friday, September 15, 2006 in Kaohsiung. These forums, targeted at system integrators and value added resellers (VARs), will educate channel partners about the diverse applications for which multi-drive, high capacity systems featuring Seagate Barracuda ES hard drives are suitable.

“In our ongoing dialogue with channel partners, VARs and resellers, we are seeing a tremendous need for better data management capabilities, and a deeper understanding of the best solutions to meet specific customer needs,” said BanSeng Teh, Seagate vice president and managing director for APAC. “Our Barracuda ES family of hard drives is designed to be at the core of today’s most robust and reliable data management solutions. The Barracuda ES drive provides a significant boost in capacity and reliability that far exceed prior generations in meeting the need for cost-effective, Disk Array/WB server storage.”

“With hard drives of 750GB in capacity and even larger drives on the horizon, there is a growing need for data management and RAID expertise,” said Jonathan Chu, CSO of Promise Technology, Inc. “As the premier supplier of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)/SATA RAID solution, Promise is dedicated to develop advanced data protection features such as PerfectRAID(tm), PDM(tm) and RAID 6 double parity support to meet the needs of more robust data protection for today’s massive capacity disc storage.”

At the educational forums, Seagate and its partners, Coventive Technologies Inc. and Promise Technology Inc., will showcase applications where the Seagate Barracuda ES hard drive combines the highest capacity available with enterprise features demanded in ‘multi-drive’ capacity-intensive configurations, ideal for low cost-per-GB business storage solutions.
