This new platform addresses the demanding storage needs of large enterprise customers, storage OEMs, cloud service providers & resellers/integrators that require dense, shared HDD or hybrid storage. The Ultrastar Data 60 Hybrid Storage Platform provides the flexibility to specify the HDD & SSD combinations to balance capacity, performance & cost. Designed for Big Data Conventional dense disk shelves frequently suffer from performance degradation due to induced vibration from adjacent drives. Traditional platforms also have cooling challenges as the cooling air passes over successive rows of drives, losing effectiveness as it gets heated up along the airflow path. Developing storage devices & platforms side-by-side, we address these challenges through vertical innovation, a set of technologies developed based on a holistic view of devices, platform, & their interactions. The first two of these patented technologies are Iso Vibe™ & Arctic Flow™. Iso Vibe reduces vibration-induced performance degradation, while Arctic Flow overcomes the cooling issues by introducing cool air into the middle of the platform. Both these technologies contribute to long-term reliability, enabling our five&8209;year limited warranty on the entire platform.
