The first European chassis designed around the Seagate Kinetic Open Storage Platform, the BigFoot Object Storage solution offers data centres increased packing density - providing more storage in less space. In addition, the Kinetic Open Storage Platform significantly reduces the cost and complexity of object storage platforms by reducing a tier of physical storage servers and protocol conversions.


BigFoot Object Storage features two 1 Gb/s Ethernet interfaces integrated in each HDD. 72 HDDs and with a total of 288 TB in a single 4U chassis allow a packing density of 2.8 PB per rack.


“The Seagate Kinetic Open Storage Platform has enabled us to increase storage density and reduce performance bottlenecks”, said Sebastian Noelting, Managing Director, Rausch Netzwerktechnik GmbH. “It allows us to better address the needs of our scale-out cloud storage customers and offer them improved capacity and scalability, while drastically reducing overall costs. Seagate has been a trusted partner for many years, and we are excited to be involved in the development of this breakthrough cloud storage architecture.”


The Seagate Kinetic Open Storage Platform, first announced in 2013, is a device-based object storage platform that comprises storage devices, a key/value API, as well as Ethernet connectivity - allowing better performance, scalability, simplicity and a reduced total cost of ownership. The Seagate Kinetic Open Storage Platform includes a set of developer tools that helps simplify storage architectures by enabling applications to communicate directly with the storage device.
