The Ultrastar Data60 Hybrid Storage platform has been designed to meet the growing demands of enterprise customers, cloud service providers, big data, SDS environments, cloud infrastructure, private storage OEMs, and also resellers or integrators that require hybrid storage or shared HDD.

A flash data acceleration tier can be enabled to serve both fast data and big data applications from a single platform.

“Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 Hybrid Storage Platform is a perfect fit with the Open-E JovianDSS, the comprehensive SDS solution, designed for Enterprise and Cloud architectures. We have worked with Western Digital for years now to provide our customers everything they need in terms of reliable and flexible storage setups,” said Krzysztof Franek, CEO, Open-E.

Thanks to IsoVibe Vibration Isolation Technology that provides suspension for the drives in the chassis, even when all drives are working hard, they are isolated from transmitted vibration. Also, by applying ArcticFlow thermal zone cooling technology, drives work on lower and more consistent temperatures resulting in lower power consumption, lower fan speeds, and higher reliability.
