Wednesday, November 11th, 2026: 1:00 PM to 1:45 PM
WD webinar on how UltraSMR drives and Swiss Vault's VaultFS let organizations scale AI data storage without costs scaling with it.
This 45-minute BrightTALK webinar explores how Shingled Magnetic Recording technology lets organizations scale AI data storage without proportional cost increases.
Presenters Brad Warbiany and Ashlea Walker of WD and Bhupinder Bhullar, CEO of Swiss Vault, explain how WD Ultrastar platforms combined with SwissVault's VaultFS software create resilient, high-capacity active archives.
They show how the approach maintains performance while lowering total cost of ownership for AI workloads, with roughly 20% more data in the same physical space and lower power and cost per terabyte than conventional recording.
