Solid state (SSD) drive family name – Pulsar
For this naming project -- one of many with Seagate -- Igor was asked to create a new name for not only a product but and entire product family: Seagate's initial foray into solid state drives (SSD), which "differ from other products within the Seagate enterprise portfolio because [they] leverage non-volatile flash memory rather than spinning magnetic media to store data."
Segate needed a name for this breakthrough product family that captured
its futuristic essence and conveyed key concepts of speed, small footprint,
power, capacity, durability and reliability. Igor created the name Pulsar for this product and product family, perfectly capturing these characteristics
with a metaphorical, evocative astronomical term meaning "one
of several hundred known celestial objects, generally believed to be
rapidly rotating neutron stars, that emit pulses of radiation, esp. radio
waves, with a high degree of regularity."
Designed to meet OEM perrformance, power, size and reliability requirements
for enterprise blade and general server applications, the Pulsar SSD
leverages 30 years of Seagate history of successfully designing, building
and supporting the industry's highest-quality enterprise storage devices
for I/O-intensive, 24x7, enterprise computing environments.
