OpenFlex Data24 NVMe-oF Storage Platform

The Performance of NVMe Flash in Shared Storage

Western Digital’s OpenFlex Data24 NVMe-oF Storage Platform extends the high performance of NVMe flash to shared storage. It provides low-latency sharing of NVMe SSDs over a high-performance Ethernet fabric to deliver similar performance to locally attached NVMe SSDs.

​

NVMe-over-Fabrics, or NVMe-oF, is a networked storage protocol that allows storage to be disaggregated from compute to make that storage widely available to multiple applications and servers. By enabling applications to share a common pool of storage capacity, data can be easily shared between applications or needed capacity can be allocated to an application to respond to application needs.”

Ultrastar Hybrid Storage Platforms

The Next-Generation Hybrid Platform for Software-Defined Storage

The Ultrastar Data60 and Data102 hybrid storage platforms are a key element of next-generation disaggregated storage and Software-Defined Storage (SDS) systems. Their compact, efficient form factors provide the flexibility to specify the HDD and SSD combinations for balancing capacity, performance, and cost.

​

A flash data acceleration tier can be enabled to serve both fast data and big data applications from a single platform. The Ultrastar Data60 and Data102 address the demanding storage needs of large enterprise customers, storage OEMs, cloud service providers, as well as resellers/integrators requiring dense, shared HDD or hybrid storage.

IsoVibe Patented Vibration Isolation Technology​

Precise cuts in the baseboard provide a suspension for the drives in the chassis, isolating them from transmitted vibration. The result is that consistent performance is maintained, even when all the drives are working hard.

ArcticFlow Innovative Thermal Zone Cooling Technology​

By introducing cool air into the center of the chassis, drives operate at lower and more consistent temperatures than conventional systems. This results in lower fan speeds, reduced vibration, lower power consumption, quieter operation and ultimately higher reliability.
