Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC) today announced that its
PCIe® Gen5 DC SN861 E.1S enterprise-class NVMe™ SSDs have been
certified to support the NVIDIA® GB200 NVL72 rack-scale system.
The rapid rise of AI, ML, and large language models (LLMs) is
creating a challenge for companies with two opposing forces. Data
generation and consumption are accelerating, while organizations
face pressure to quickly derive value from this data. Performance,
scalability, and efficiency are essential for AI technology stacks
as storage demands rise. Certified to be compatible with the GB200
NVL72 system, Western Digital’s enterprise SSD addresses the
growing needs of the AI market for high-speed accelerated computing
combined with low latency to serve compute-intensive AI
environments.
The NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system helps meet the diverse accelerated
computing needs of the world’s data centers and provides
manufacturers with a reference architecture to quickly and
cost-effectively build more than 100 system design configurations
while maintaining consistency in design and performance.
“Storage has become an increasingly significant and dynamic
component of the AI technology stack,” said Rob Soderbery, EVP and
GM, Flash Business, Western Digital. “With Western Digital's DC
SN861 E.1S enterprise SSD certified to support NVIDIA GB200 NVL72,
customers can take the guesswork out of the design process and
achieve faster time to market for a wide range of accelerated
computing applications.”
“Data storage systems need enough capacity and performance to
support the computational loads and speeds required for large,
sophisticated AI models,” said Mark Taylor, Sr. Data Center Product
Manager at NVIDIA. “Tested and verified to support the NVIDIA GB200
NVL72 system, Western Digital’s four- and eight-terabyte DC SN861
SSDs offer customers a high-performance, enterprise-class storage
solution for accelerated computing applications.”
In June, Western Digital introduced a six-stage AI Data Cycle
framework that defines the optimal storage mix for AI workloads at
scale. This framework helps customers plan and develop advanced
storage infrastructures to maximize their AI investments, improve
efficiency, and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their
AI workflows. Western Digital offers a comprehensive storage
technology portfolio tailored to support every stage of the AI Data
Cycle.
The DC SN861 SSD is designed to support the AI model training,
interface & prompting and AI inference engine stages of the AI
data cycle. Western Digital’s first enterprise-class PCIe Gen 5.0
solution offers industry-leading random read performance and power
efficiency for AI workloads. With capacities up to 16TB*, it
delivers up to a 3x random read performance increase over the
previous generation with ultra-low latency and incredible
responsiveness for LLM training, inferencing and AI service
deployment. In addition, the low power profile delivers higher
IOPS/Watt, reducing overall TCO. The increased PCIe Gen5 bandwidth
helps address the growing needs of the AI market for high-speed
accelerated computing combined with low latency to serve
compute-intensive AI environments. Built for mission-critical
workloads, the DC SN861 provides a rich feature set, including
NVMe® 2.0 and OCP 2.0 support, 1 and 3 DWPD, and a 5-year limited
warranty**.
