HGST Joins The HP ProActive Insight Architecture Alliance

HP Discover Booth 321 – HGST (formerly Hitachi Global Storage Technologies and now a Western Digital company, NASDAQ: WDC) today announced it is a founding member of the HP ProActive Insight Architecture (PIA) Alliance. HGST was selected by HP for its enterprise-class Ultrastar™ hard disk drive (HDD) family, which is built to the HP standards and interfaces that contribute to the industry-transforming performance and reliability of HP ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8).

HP ProActive Insight Architecture, now available in the new HP ProLiant Gen8 servers, transforms data center economics with built-in intelligence that improves performance and uptime, while lowering operating costs. As a founding member of the HP PIA Alliance, HGST will continue to contribute to the elimination of common problems caused by human-to-technology interaction that lead to system downtime and data loss. Through embedded HP ProLiant Gen8 server technology, HP PIA Alliance members, along with HP, can evaluate data and other critical analytics to continually optimize and improve on business results.

The HP PIA Alliance brings together the collective value of the world’s leading technology innovators to complement HP ProLiant Gen8 servers. Alliance members, drawn from leaders in memory, storage, I/O, power and infrastructure solutions, build technology components to HP Proactive Insight architecture standards and interfaces. These components help to analyze thousands of system parameters and automate processes that consume critical data center resources. Additionally, they provide insight into aspects of application performance and IT infrastructure optimization that had once been nearly impossible to capture and utilize.

"As one of the leading enterprise-class HDD and SSD companies in the world, we are honored to be a founding member and active participant in HP’s ProActive Insight Architecture Program,” said Brendan Collins, vice president of product marketing, HGST, a Western Digital company. “We have had a long history with HP, continually meeting their stringent quality and performance standards, and in 2011 we won their Global Supplier Quality of the year award. With our quality reputation and commitment, HP ProLiant Gen8 customers will continue to benefit from our field-proven Ultrastar hard drive platform with industry-leading technology, performance and high reliability.”
