Our innovative storage solutions provide high density, flexibility and exceptional speed, and are at the heart of many of the world’s largest data centers. Whether your goal is IT modernization, reducing costs, building mission value, increasing effectiveness, citizen satisfaction, or improving outcomes – our solutions consistently deliver stability, trust and reliability. Join us in booth #713 to learn how.
Speaking Session – Enable Field-Based Data Collection And Analytics
If you’re attending WEST, make sure to join our joint speaking session with IBM to learn about a new solution that enables mission-critical decisions in near-real time for field-based data collection and analytics.
Superpowers Western Digital and IBM Join Forces to Enable Field-based Data Collection and Analytics
Tuesday, Feb. 21 • 3:00 – 3:40pm
Innovation Showcase, Exhibit Hall B, Isle 2200
Even as mobile platforms for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering collect an increasing amount of data, bandwidth to ground stations remains relatively limited. Performing Big Data analytics at deployed collection platforms can help make mission-critical decisions in near-real time and allow transmittal of only the most relevant data or results for further action.
To address these mission challenges, IBM has created a solution based on the industry’s leading software-defined storage portfolio and best-of-breed flash hardware. The IBM DeepFlash™ Elastic Storage™ Server combines the performance features of IBM’s Spectrum Scale™ parallel filesystem and declustered RAID solution with highly-reliable SanDisk® InfiniFlash™ storage enclosures. This unified solution provides high-performance, scalable, robust and fault-tolerant dense storage with fast RAID rebuilds and lower power requirements — which helps to enable field-based data collection and analytics.
Speakers: Chris Howard, Chief Technologist, Government and Defense, Western Digital and Keith D. Ball, Client Technical Specialist, US Federal, IBM Systems, Software Defined Storage Solutions (SDSS)
