Seagate expands Lyve Cloud Object Storage

The advanced features offer pragmatic options for data and cost management, introduce new ways to easily modernize backup and recovery strategies, and continuously enhance security and compliance functionality. Additionally, new offerings for partners, including a white label option and integrated service bundles, provide greater flexibility to leverage Seagate’s portfolio of storage services. Finally, expanded regions offer new site availability in Germany and Japan to meet global enterprise needs.

The expanded features in more detail, include the following:

Data Lifecycle Logic automates the transitions of data by setting rules that govern the lifetime of objects, optimize costs by seamlessly deleting objects no longer needed and by moving data from a hot tier to cooler tier as desired.

No minimum object retention provides greater flexibility for users to manage and delete data as needed, reducing storage costs and improving data management efficiency.

Near-instant geo replication ensures automated, real-time replication for distributed data protection against natural disasters, while enabling distributed teams with best access times to the data.

White Label offering provides even greater flexibility and value to our partners to easily expand their revenue with S3-compatible storage services.

IP source control allows customers greater control to define who has access via a range of IP source addresses.

“With the new features and expanded regional coverage of Lyve Cloud Object Storage we help our global customers looking to build their regional presence and scale cloud native workloads such as AI and machine learning, camera-to-cloud workflows, surveillance and edge data applications.” said Melyssa Banda, VP of enterprise systems and solutions at Seagate. “With these additions to our S3-compatible cloud object storage offering, we are also well positioned to support global and local enterprises in maintaining compliance with data localization policies while navigating the most challenging IT environments and scaling their businesses cost-effectively.”

One of the standout benefits of Lyve Cloud Object Storage is its predictable cost structure. With no minimum object storage retention and no API or egress fees, enterprises can take advantage of unlimited capacity to scale up or down as needed. This flexibility allows businesses to control expenses effectively, which is crucial for managing budgets. Furthermore, Lyve Cloud Object Storage integrates seamlessly with other Lyve services such as Lyve Mobile with Cloud Import providing a comprehensive data management solution for partners and enterprises alike.

From hard disk drives to cloud data solutions, security has always been central to Seagate’s product design. Lyve Cloud Object Storage includes features like Write Once, Read Many (WORM) which ensures data integrity by preventing alterations or deletions once data is written. Data at Rest Encryption (DARE) protects stored data, providing confidentiality. Single Sign-On (SSO) and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) enhance secure access and enable complex web applications to request resources from different origins. These features are included at no extra cost.
