AI workloads acceleration with Western Digital Data24-3200 JBOF

Shingled magnetic recording (SMR) hard drives deliver next-generation capacities of up to 28TB for increased storage density and a more efficient footprint for your data center.  Our technical expert will cover the kev considerations needed for adopting this technology to best fit vour Linux®-based application. We will be joined by our friends from Leil Storage who will give real-world insights into what was needed to integrate SMR drives into their data storage system.  This eco-friendly solution bridges the gap between Host Managed SMR and Software-Defined Storage and slashes electricity consumption by up to 43%.

TechTalk: Implementing SMR to maximize storage density and optimize cost

Join this TechTalk to learn about the latest addition to our Platforms products line up - The OpenFlex Data24-3200, our third generation NVMe-oF all flash storage JBOF and Resource Manager Data Center v1.0, our free management software that now allows monitoring of all Western Digital platforms systems from a single pane of glass.

Introducing the OpenFlex Data24-3200 and Resource Manager Data Center Edition

This session will describe infrastructure products and solutions tools that are critical for implementing Edge to Core archiving workflows. Areas included are 
• High-availability at the edge, 
• Data portability from edge to core, 
• Data portability around the core and to the cloud.

End-to-End Archiving from the Edge

Join us for our September TechTalk, where we will discuss how to configure your enterprise SSDs to best suit your workload by optimizing their performance and endurance (DWPD).  After a quick overview of our recently announced Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN655, we will take a detailed look at working examples showing how easy it can be for you to configure a drive’s DWPD and power consumption giving you the possibility to tailor it to your specific workload and optimize your investment

Optimize your Enterprise SSDs to best serve your applications

We’ll take a look at how we can optimize storage for ease of deployment and scalability while maintaining performance and data resilience.  Western Digital’s OpenFlex Data24 NVMe over Fabric storage can be easily combined with BeeGFS robust and flexible file system and Xinnor’s innovative XiRAID software for high performance NVMe RAID with very low system overhead.

Pushing the limits of HPC and AI storage with BeeGFS, Xinnor and NVMe-oF

Hybrid-cloud, or decentralized cloud, workflows are on the rise driven by the need and desire for real-time decision making. Demand for edge solutions is on the rise to address these use cases that include capturing and processing of data at the edge. These edge solutions need to address requirements that go well beyond the datacenter.

Data Mobility and Analytics at the Edge

The seeming insatiable growth of data in the zettabyte age continues to accelerate the adoption of public cloud both at the core and the edge. This growth places increasing demands on the management and storage of data at rack-scale levels and beyond. Western Digital’s HDD enclosures employ unique capabilities to deliver optimum performance, reliability, and uptime so that users can comfortably focus their energy on the monetization of their data assets, where it should be.

Optimizing Data Storage for Rack Scale

Most Cloud Service Provider’s use HDDs and Tape to deliver Storage Services, contain CapEx budgets, easily scale their infrastructure and to manage power consumption. 

As big and unstructured data becomes more prevalent in society and at the same time data growth is approaching 165 ZB’s by 2025, organizations and CSP’s are grappling with data retention compliance and the most cost-effective architectures to manage and deliver storage services to their users and customers.

Additionally, budgets for IT and operating expenses for power and cooling continue to be challenging for both Data Center Operators as well as CIO’s.

This Session will explore:
- HDD based cloud architectures for scale and cost
- Data Tiering 
- Areal Density Growth Strategies

Why Magnetic Recording Creates Substantial Value for Cloud Storage

Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) has fueled IT gains with simple building blocks that are easy to scale and manage.  The downside has been those gains have come at a high cost as HCI requires a greater overprovisioning of equipment to maintain a minimum level of reliability.  NVMe-oF based storage offers a way to reduce cost and improve utilization over what is possible with HCI.

Improving TCO and Asset Velocity with NVMe-oF

WDC has been providing storage components and infrastructure to our customer for many decades. As an outcome of this position in the market, we have observed emerging trends and challenges facing our customers that impede or restrict their ability to capture the full potential in the marketplace. WDC Platforms BU exists to help customers navigate through these core issues that affect growth, TCO, and ultimately asset velocity.

Scaling IP Video Storage Solutions to Meet Today’s Campus Threats

The adoption of remote and hybrid work throughout the pandemic accelerated the digital transformation that IT organizations had already been undergoing by months, even years. However, as organizations shift a multitude of users and varying workloads between on-premises, public and private clouds, and the edge, the rise in data breaches and ransomware has prioritized the need for data protection and security, in addition to resource agility requirements.

Join OSNexus, Pogo Linux and Western Digital, as we explain how the QuantaStor software-defined storage platform and Pogo Linux hardware solutions – powered by Western Digital high-performance, low-latency NVMe™ storage and NVMe-over-Fabrics™ networking technologies – enable secure, high-performance multi-tenant object storage environments that can prevent a ransomware or a data loss event.
