From Silicon-to-Systems: How Storage Enclosures Improve Cost, Energy Consumption

Compute and storage trends have converged thru the benefits of composable storage to support users on-premises, in public and private clouds, and at the edge.

Join OSNEXUS, Pogo Linux and Western Digital, as we explain how fast and efficient Ceph storage clusters enable backup and archive workloads to coexist alongside high-read, large-block applications in the data center and hybrid cloud environments.

Learn how to adapt in real-time to both storage and application requirements with an open architecture solution based on high-performance, low-latency NVMe storage and NVMe-over-Fabric technologies.

Presented by Mark Miquelon, Director of Partner Alliances, Western Digital Data Center Platforms, and Steven Umbehocker, founder and CEO of OSNEXUS.

Managing data growth is a top concern among IT professionals and projections indicate this challenge will only grow over time. In this short discussion, Western Digital will provide analysis with real world examples to demonstrate how to best blend storage technologies to optimize affordability, protection and accessibility of large pools of data.

Hyper-Converged solutions deliver the value of composing hardware into variable sized virtual servers, but are limited to the hardware resources available from the vendor who sells the chassis. Open Composable Disaggregated infrastructure (CDI) is the latest innovation that provides the value of disaggregating compute, storage, and even memory resources plus the benefit of enabling multiple vendors to compete for your business. Learn how Open CDI can benefit your organization, and the products from Western Digital that make it possible.

Managing large data sets is challenging whether it’s terrestrial climate change data, business intelligence or information from IOT devices. It is becoming increasingly critical to be able to effectively plan the infrastructure for the data repositories that can help us unlock the secrets and insights ourdata can provide.Join us as we discuss new developments in large-scale storage to sort out some of the key requirements and building blocks for big data.
What you’ll learn:
•How physical data transport can be faster and more secure than over-the-wire
•Why organizations are deploying cost-effective large-scale storage systems
•How NVMe-over-Fabrics can improve performance in large data sets

In the digital age, data does more than just drive the business forward – for many organization data is the business.  Data storage architectures must provide a number of key capabilities to match the importance of data.  Resilient architectures which can minimize the impact of system and component level failures will be needed.  Data storage must also have composability to adapt to the rapidly changing performance needs of workloads.  The lifecycle management of these systems must also be improved to allow rapid deployments, capacity additions, while reducing the day-to-day management burden for infrastructure professionals, while reducing operational costs.  

Please join OSNEXUS, Western Digital and 451 Research’s Henry Baltazar, Research Director, Storage on June 10th, 2021 for a webinar in which we will be discussing the future requirements for data storage.

Join Aerospike and Western Digital as we discuss how applying hyper-scaler principles to real-time database development combined with disaggregated storage infrastructure can lead to staggering performance results.

You will learn:
· Why the Aerospike Database is very fast, highly scalable, and extremely reliable for use in real-time big data applications
· The benefits of disaggregating resources and how NVMe over Fabrics unleashes the performance potential of flash storage
· How the combination can significantly improve real-life benchmark performance

Ray Lucchesi hosts Jason Collier, Tim Crawford, and Mark Miquelon in a round table discussion on the merits and benefits of Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure. CDI will increase the utilization of your data center resources, and Open CDI does this without vendor lock-in.

With the massive shift to remote work in 2020, IT managers needed to quickly adapt to supporting a remote workforce. Now, with business data scattered across employees’ laptops at different locations and cloud services like Microsoft 365, it’s time to evaluate data protection strategies and ensure valuable business data are well protected.

In this webinar, we will cover:
- Backing up data on remote (and BYOD) PCs
- Risks of not having on-prem backup for cloud data
- Protecting data in cloud services like Microsoft 365
- Best recommended storage solutions

One lucky attendee will have the chance to win a Synology DS220+ NAS.

Losing valuable data is a situation no one wants but everyone should prepare for. As data and information is quickly becoming the most valuable resource, from personal use, home use, small offices to multinationals, QNAP and Western Digital have come together to present the perfect storage solution for backup and disaster recovery. Join our free webinar on “Data is King. Protect your data with VM Backup, Replication & Disaster Recovery.”

Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure can unlock cloud-like agility and incredible efficiency in your datacenter. Join us to learn how Liqid and Western Digital are teaming up to simplify the deployment of CDI.

As we make the leap into Industry 4.0, it is not surprising to see massive volumes of data generated from a myriad of connected devices and data hungry applications. A trend that brings new challenges to IIoT deployments. This webinar will focus on three prominent challenges you may be facing right now. Whether you’re trying to minimize system downtime, handle an influx of valuable Data, or build a scalable IIoT system, join our session to explore more forward-thinking data storage strategies.

Western Digital explains the differences between using SAS for sharing SSD storage and sharing NVMe-based storage between servers.

Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) have typically moved from cloud-based storage and compute infrastructures to enterprise datacenter infrastructures as they grow, both to reduce costs and to control the performance and user experience of their services Join a panel of experts to learn how to use NVMe™ and NVMe-oF™ storage devices, storage software, and storage networking hardware to meet the performance needs of Cloud Service Providers.

SweRV Core™ RISC-V embedded storage controllers are designed to span the demands of reliability, performance, and power consumption to multi-tennant cores and simple tasks. This session will cover SweRV Core processors EH1, EH2, and EL2. You’ll also learn about Coremark and Embench benchmarks and compare performance of single and dual-threaded operational modes.

Ethernet-attached NVMe-oF™ disaggregated storage systems aim to address workload agility and improve infrastructure efficiency. This session will review Ethernet-based protocols – RoCE, iWARP, TCP – for disaggregated storage systems and the requirements for successful and wide deployments of these types of systems.

Cloud architects will learn how to improve SSD total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) and address Latency/QoS performance at scale with ZNS SSDs. Learn the benefits of ZNS SSDs over conventional SSDs, how to leverage the ZNS command set, and real-world examples with respect to the software ecosystem.
