Western Digital joins Active Achive Alliance
December 2015 by Marc Jacob
Western Digital Corporation announced that it has joined the Active Archive Alliance, a non-profit industry association dedicated to expanding awareness about evolving technologies that enable reliable and efficient online access to archived data. As a member of the alliance, Western Digital Corporation, will collaborate with companies like FujiFilm and HP to provide its expertise in innovative enterprise archive storage systems and solutions that enable users to derive greater value from data than traditional archive storage.
The HGST Active Archive System is a fully self-contained object storage system that enables customers to add storage as easily as rolling another rack into place and connecting it to the network, all with industry-leading power efficiency and a total cost of ownership that beats white box economics. WDC’s collaboration with the Active Archive Alliance will help drive deeper insights into the evolving landscape of data archiving and the need to instantly access data over longer periods of time.
