  Seagate Storage
Today's small and medium businesses (SMBs) run on digital information. With the processing and storage requirements of your SMB customers on the rise, you need highly flexible server building blocks that can be easily configured to meet current and future computing needs. With the Intel® Modular Server and new Seagate Savvio* 2.5-inch enterprise drives, you can offer your customers the innovative, flexible and efficient storage headroom they need to succeed.

Intel® Modular Server and Seagate Savvio* Drives: An Ideal Combination
With the ability to support up to six server compute modules and fourteen SAS 2.5" hard disk drives, as well as two Ethernet Switch Modules, integrated SAN, and a management module, the Intel Modular Server provides a flexible and powerful system for small to midsize businesses.
  Small and Mighty
Seagate Savvio 2.5-inch enterprise 10K and 15K drives are 70% smaller than 3.5-inch alternatives, enabling more drives per system, providing higher performance and reliability and ensuring ultra-low power consumption. With PowerTrim* technology, your SMB customers can achieve up to 50 percent reduction of power and energy costs while nearly doubling their IOPS/watt performance.

  Seagate Savvio* Features and Benefits
  • Energy efficiency without sacrificing performance
  • 70% smaller than 3.5-inch drives
  • Consume up to 50% less power while doubling performance (IOPS/watt) over traditional 3.5-inch drives
  • Savvio drives with PowerTrim* technology cost on average US$9 in electrical costs per year per drive, compared to US$18 in electrical costs per year per drive for a typical 15K drive.
  • RoHS compliant
  • Allow more drives per system for greater performance density and redundancy than 3.5-inch drives
  • Free up more space than 3.5-inch drives for additional memory and cooling
  • Savvio 10K.2 and Savvio 15K drives have the highest reliability in the world

  Intel and Seagate: United in Efficiency
Consuming less power and enabling improved airflow, Seagate drives provide a perfect compliment to Intel's new generation of extremely energy efficient 45nm Intel® Xeon® processors. Seagate and Intel are both committed to the environment and sustainable practices. In early 2008, Intel became the largest purchaser of green power in the U.S. Seagate has instituted production efficiencies designed to minimize energy use, including equipment design optimization, facility retrofitting, and energy-wise process improvements. These efforts reduced electricity (kWh) used per drive in manufacturing by 17% in FY2007, and continue to drive reductions today.
