Western Digital software helps optimize Ceph deployments by improving capacity, density, and power efficiency for storage environments that rely on triple replication. Using Ultrastar helium-filled HDDs and HelioSeal technology, the solution delivers the highest density available for Ceph while reducing power consumption. By deploying 12TB Ultrastar DC HC520 drives, organizations can cut Ceph disk unit needs by 50% compared with 6TB drives, helping control growth in raw disk space requirements. Western Digital’s software-enabled approach makes it easier to scale Ceph storage efficiently, lower operational burden, and build a more cost-effective foundation for data protection and availability.
