Western Digital software helps Apache Cassandra scale by combining the cost-effective capacity of Ultrastar helium HDDs with the density and performance of Ultrastar SSDs. This hybrid approach lets organizations store more data in the same or smaller footprint, reduce query and data operation times, and achieve better price-performance for critical datasets. Western Digital’s software-enabled storage strategy also helps reduce or eliminate JBODs and controllers, improving consolidation and simplifying infrastructure. By fully exploiting flash and modern servers, the solution provides the performance, efficiency, and scalability needed for large Cassandra environments without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.
