Personnel: Chris Bayne

Chris Bayne, Chief Solutions Architect, demonstrates local failover for micro recovery. The Infrascale Disaster Recovery solution realizes full capabilities to boot a singular (or multiple) image locally, versus a complete set of images booting to the cloud. This feature comes in handy for micro-disasters (malware infection, corrupted hard drives, etc.). We’ll show how quickly an administrator can boot their selected version of a disaster recovery images locally – and get production back on track.

Chris Bayne, Chief Solutions Architect, introduces and demonstrates Infrascale Disaster Recovery. The Infrascale Disaster Recovery (IDR) solution is met with two distinct product variations – IDR-Local and IDR-Cloud. Both provide protections for all modern systems, include DR image verification, and unlimited version history. Either can be used for backup and recovery of files/folder or as full server or virtual machine DR fail over and fail back. When used for DR, the bootable images are ready in minutes.

IDR-Local: Backup to your on-premises appliance and run the replicas locally. Backups (only) available in the cloud; no cloud boot.

IDR-Cloud: Backup to your appliance and boot locally or in the cloud. Enjoy unlimited DR testing, DR server orchestration, and replicate unlimited restore points to the cloud (disk limits apply).

The Infrascale Cloud Failover Appliance (CFA) is the critical starting point to our Disaster Recovery experience. We’ll show how quickly an administrator can configure VMware (or other hypervisors or physical servers) to be replicated; ensure the replication meets desired scheduling/check points and retention policies; how we ensure the VM replicates to the cloud; and make sure the image is bootable / ready for recovery.

Personnel: Richard New

Richard New, Ph.D., Vice President of Research, discusses Western Digital’s approach to open standards and open source. Since storage performance and TCO are increasingly determined by system design, Western Digital is working with other companies and projects to drive open standards. The company is working to implement Zoned Storage in the Linux storage software stack, enabling improvements for both HDD and SSD. Western Digital is also working to develop and promote the RISC-V open instruction set architecture, a broad industry initiative with more than 150 member companies. The CHIPS Alliance is working to develop open hardware for interfaces, processors, and systems, including the SweRV CPU core. Western Digital is also a founding partner of OpenTitan, an open source project developing silicon root of trust chips. OmniXtend is a low-cost open-source hardware reference design for large shared-memory systems.


Western Digital Open Composability Accelerates the Future of Data Infrastructure

Personnel: Scott Hamilton

Scott Hamilton, Senior Director of Product Management and Marketing, Data Center Platforms Business Unit, discusses the need for open composability in future enterprise IT infrastructure. As we near zettabyte scale, shared-nothing models strand resources, lack of agility leads to SKU explosion, and new use cases move GPUs to the data. Composable infrastructure is the answer, and NVMe over Fabrics provides the solution. Western Digital is supporting composability through OpenFlex and Open Composable API, and the Kazan Networks acquisition accelerates NVME-oF as a building block. The Open Composable ecosystem now includes Western Digital, Kaminario, Liqid, and DriveScale, along with Xilinx, Eideticom, Mellanox, Arista, and Broadcom.

Luca Fasoli, Ph.D., Vice President, Memory Product Solutions, discusses Western Digital’s continuing innovation in flash storage technology. Demand for flash storage capacity is driving scale, with 23% CAGR expected from 2018 through 2023. Meeting this demand requires vertical scaling, lateral scaling through process innovations, and logical scaling to increase bits per cell. Each of these requires system and workload optimization, and Western Digital is promoting integrated storage technologies.

Personnel: Phil Bullinger

Phil Bullinger, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Business Unit, discusses Western Digital’s approach to enable zettabyte scale data. There is an enormous business opportunity to support digital data at scale, especially when it comes to IoT data. If TCO drives data center decisions, technologies that reduce overall costs can affect more than storage. Although use of SSDs is growing rapidly in the datacenter, hard disk drives still remain relevant, enabling “storage at scale.” High-capacity HDDs drive lower TCO, so Western Digital is investing in technologies to enable greater capacity. Helium-filled drives, energy assist, new suspension mechanics, SMR, and advanced queue management are needed and are all part of the company’s IP portfolio.
