Western Digital moves forward with ActiveScale storage system
Billed as one of the most performing and cost-effective object storage platforms for storing, managing and extracting value from the ever-expanding universe of unstructured data, Western Digital’s new OS 5.5 ActiveScale storage system portfolio is all set to become an integral part of an IT infrastructure by expanding its comprehensive set of data management capabilities for streamlining workflows and reducing latency barriers for multi-site data distribution.
The ActiveScale also leverages its scale-out architecture to provide near-linear performance growth for data-intensive applications such as AI, machine learning and HPC workloads. The ActiveScale X100, coupled with OS 5.5, is projected to deliver data throughput of up to 75GB/second in scale out configurations, making it the ideal solution for large-scale data workflows.
“ActiveScale 5.5 further extends the unique value that only Western Digital can deliver in terms of performance, efficiency, scalability and superior economics for those putting data at the center of their business,” said Phil Bullinger, senior vice president and general manager of Western Digital’s Data Centre Systems business unit. “We’re developing solutions that enable our customers to make data infrastructure synonymous with a successful data business strategy.
