WESTERN DIGITAL SSD CloudSpeed Gen. II Ultra Channel 1.6TB 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s

HYPERSCALE DATA CENTER FLASH STORAGE
Cloud Service Providers need to manage transactional and mixed workloads – databases, email/collaboration, Linux containers – to satisfy consumer cloud services like ecommerce and enterprise-oriented XaaS offerings. In order to offer database and application performance tiers of service, while controlling infrastructure costs, service providers need to increase compute-storage density for efficient data center utilization.

CloudSpeed Ultra™ Gen. II SATA SSD
Optimized for latency-sensitive application and mixed-use workloads for predictable random I/O write performance, this flash storage solution works within existing infrastructure – SATA interface – and can replace hard disk drives for lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and better data center efficiency through server consolidation.

CloudSpeed Ultra™ Gen. II SATA SSD for Elastic Infrastructure
Cloud Service Providers and software-defined storage vendors who need an elastic infrastructure to effectively manage transactional workloads, such as databases and applications, can leverage CloudSpeed Ultra™ Gen. II SSD for low-latency application demands while controlling infrastructure costs. CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II SSD provides price/performance leadership with up to 1.6TB2 SATA SSD to enable low-latency application performance for data center infrastructure cost reductions through server consolidation.

DATABASES, LINUX CONTAINERS AND SERVER VIRTUALIZATION
Open source databases that power e-commerce micropayments, “In-App” purchases, and other transaction-oriented workloads. Poor response times mean lost revenue and tarnished brands. Database instances based on Linux containers or hypervisors can meet performance requirements when leveraging SSDs optimized for random write performance.

WEB SERVERS
Heavy web traffic and concurrent connections supported by higher-performing SSDs enable hyperscale architectures to support volumes of content delivery.

EMAIL AND COLLABORATION
Cloud-based collaboration has time-sensitive elements where lower latency SSDs performance can enable teams to foster better innovation or uncover greater productivity efficiency.

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
Standardizing on web architectures based on open source software is critical for today’s most popular web properties. Write operations and server node density of open source software solutions stand to gain a lower total cost of ownership by leveraging performance density of SATA SSDs that are up to 1.6TB of usable capacity.
