Leil Storage partnered with Western Digital to deliver a distributed file system that enables host-managed SMR at petabyte scale without relying on the cloud. Western Digital’s software and drive technologies helped power a cost-effective, high-density storage architecture using Ultrastar Data60 and Data102 systems with both SMR and CMR HDDs. The solution delivers strong sequential performance, improved reliability through IsoVibe and ArcticFlow, and better data integrity with active archive capabilities, instant snapshots, and immutability. It also supports seamless scaling by adding hardware without disrupting service, making it easier to expand capacity efficiently and maintain long-term performance.
