Next generation cloud data centers are now deploying NVMe SSD storage as a core component, replacing the slower legacy SATA interface. The Ultrastar DC SN630 NVMe SSD is built on Western Digital's in-house controller and firmware technology and utilizes 64-layer BiCS3 3D NAND, which allows Western Digital to tightly control all design aspects and consistently deliver low latency and high performance. This essential NVMe offering provides twice the maximum capacity per slot and more capacity choices than prior generation, up to 7.68TB.Cloud services are revolutionizing how companies think about data storage by transitioning from fixed-cost IT infrastructure to variable cost models. As more business services move to the cloud to reap the benefits of the "pay-as-you-go" model, the demands on cloud service providers to scale increase exponentially. Finding ways to maximize and streamline storage by running concurrent workloads across the storage infrastructure has become essential.
