In the health care industry, where the need for optimized system performance is absolutely critical, AAEON has achieved considerable success through its use of Seagate EE25 Series 2.5-inch hard drives. For example, AAEON's customers in the health care field have been able to avoid the significant expense of having to replace hard drives that no longer meet industry requirements for longevity and performance. "Because they're so reliable, the Seagate EE25 Series ruggedized hard drives are becoming the hard drive of choice in a lot of industries," says Baeta. "There are some major names in the healthcare industry, including companies like GE, that are now detailing the Seagate EE25 Series hard drives into their RFQs and RFPs as a minimum requirement because they're aware of its outstanding reliability." How Seagate Has Helped AAEON Penetrate New Markets As the digital landscape widens, the demand for high-capacity storage solutions with extreme ruggedized features is on the rise. One area in which AAEON has recognized significant growth potential is in the market for on-board navigation devices. For example many large cities in the United States will soon require taxis to be equipped with customer-accessible touchscreen computing technology. "This isn't a market we had necessarily focused on before, but it's definitely growing. Starting in 2008, we're expecting to sell at least 1000 computers per year with the Seagate EE25 Series hard drive to a large metropolitan taxicab authority," Baeta enthuses. "The environment in a city taxi cab is probably one of the worst in the world when it comes to vibration and shock, so the performance of the Seagate EE25 ruggedized hard drive provides a big advantage in pursuing opportunities in this particular market segment."
