Case Study: Seagate streamlines global embedded firmware collaboration with Perforce Helix Core

Seagate Chooses Helix Core to Streamline Global Collaboration for Embedded Firmware

Seagate, a global data storage manufacturer, faced major collaboration challenges as its design and manufacturing teams across Asia and the U.S. relied on email and struggled with lag time in multi-site development. After evaluating version control options, Seagate chose Perforce Helix Core to support its highly customized embedded firmware workflow and large-scale global collaboration.

Perforce implemented Helix Core as the backend version control system for Seagate’s distributed teams, enabling true multi-site development, integration with custom tools, and support for thousands of configurations and builds. The results included 15 million daily transactions, 1,500 builds and deployments per hour, 2,500 users, and the ability to manage nearly 1TB of data and 6 million annual builds with the performance and scalability Seagate required.
