Western Digital Corporation is an industry-leading provider of storage technologies and solutions that enable people to create, leverage, experience and preserve data. The company addresses ever-changing market needs by providing a full portfolio of compelling, high-quality storage solutions with customer-focused innovation, high efficiency, flexibility and speed. Our products are marketed under the HGST, SanDisk and WD brands to OEMs, distributors, resellers, cloud infrastructure providers and consumers.

As workloads and services move to cloud infrastructure, we gain efficiencies of scale by centralizing our services. But, a global force, changing network conditions, real-world events, and evolving threats can necessitate the movement of workloads closer to the edge to enable cloud services outside of existing cloud regions. DISA and the DoD need approaches that intelligently move workloads from central cloud locations to edge computing environments on-demand, to enable secure multi-mission workloads and to facilitate the best user experience. What’s needed is a militarized, ruggedized, high-performance, and secure platform that enables:

• Rapid deployment of remote data capture, Ai/ML, and analytics at the tactical edge
• Delivery of cloud services in bandwidth limited and disconnected remote locations
• Zero Trust and Encrypted Services in transit, in memory, and for data at rest

This 40-minute session will introduce you to how a vertically integrated manufacturer like Western Digital and a secure edge software company like Mainsail Industries have approached these challenges to deliver world-class, purpose built, specialized edge-servers to meet the demanding needs of remote deployments at scale.

Deploying Multi Mission Cloud Workloads to the Tactical Edge

While data is growing, budgets and reliability requirements are under increasing pressure. Organizations of all types with a wide variety of use cases are looking to cloud storage services to alleviate data growth problems.

A Guide to Automotive Data Storage – Future Trends, Use Cases and Features

Whether you’re working at a traditional on-prem data center, a co-lo or XSP, we all know data storage growth is explosive … but your costs needn’t be. For those of us that spend our lives around data center storage (however sad that might sound)! we know there are some things that can’t be ignored:
• Power and cooling costs 
• Errors from drives causing replacement
• Long-term reliability
Join us as we discuss how Western Digital takes an innovative approach to reducing hidden costs of bulk storage.

Cutting the Hidden Costs of Data Center Storage Arrays

This webinar illustrates the new design options and benefits that the use of NVMe over Fabrics can provide when deployed with high performance parallel filesystems.  It will show a new system architecture which maintains or increases deployment resiliency while potentially decreasing server requirements which reduces total cost of ownership.  The presentation concludes with the review of a 9-node Lustre cluster proof of concept design and the results attained therein.

Improving Parallel File System Performance & Reliability with NVMe-oF™ Storage

All Flash Arrays have been use for many years now and have provided significant speed up of application performance along with the flexibility of disaggregated storage.  Recent performance advances in NVMe SSDs have created yet another performance gap between Direct Attached Storage in servers and traditional Fibre Channel and SAS attached All Flash Arrays.  NVMe-oF closes this gap by enabling the newest NVMe SSDs to be fabric attached to multiple servers.  Get the bandwidth and low latency of NVMe plus the scalability of disaggregated storage.  This webinar will walk you through the performance advantages of NVMe-oF and demonstrate the simplicity of Western Digital’s ethernet attached flash array, OpenFlex Data24.

•How NVMe-over-Fabrics can improve performance in large data sets

Innovations in Storing and Managing Live 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.
