Focused on creating better ways to take advantage of intrinsic capabilities of storage devices, while leveraging its system design and engineering capabilities, SEAGATE understands new technology solutions industries will bring to market must be a collaborative effort among suppliers, partners and end-customers. As a key contributor to such open innovation, it only made since for SEAGATE to become an Open Invention Network (OIN) member.
