Cloud-native storage solutions

For a long time, cloud computing has been hailed as the default path for enterprise IT, with public cloud providers promising unlimited scalability and transformative efficiency gains. However, recent data shows that this narrative is shifting significantly: enterprises are becoming more strategic in their technology investments, moving away from a "cloud-first" approach and towards value-driven combinations of public cloud, private infrastructure, and other service providers such as managed services. Some reports indicate that public cloud migration may be one of the most important considerations for enterprises to continuously evaluate in 2026, as CIOs and IT leaders need to re-evaluate the ideal storage location for their workloads.

Hybrid Cloud Utilizing Reliable Storage

For a long time, cloud computing has been hailed as the default path for enterprise IT, with public cloud providers promising unlimited scalability and transformative efficiency gains. However, recent data shows this narrative is shifting significantly: enterprises are becoming more strategic in their technology investments, moving away from a "cloud-first" approach and towards value-driven combinations of public cloud, private infrastructure, and other service providers such as managed services. Some reports indicate that public cloud migration may be one of the most important considerations for enterprises to continuously evaluate in 2026, as CIOs and IT leaders need to re-evaluate the ideal storage location for their workloads. Of course, both on-premises data center storage and edge local storage should ideally utilize the highest quality, most powerful hard drives. WD's enterprise-grade hard drives are the ideal cornerstone for building hybrid storage architectures, a crucial component of enterprise data migration efforts, providing reliable, high-performance hybrid cloud storage.

AI intelligent robot

Western Digital's next-generation intelligent embodied AI robot integrates large language models, computer vision, intelligent sensing, mechanical control, and high-performance data storage technologies to create an AI solution that combines intelligent analysis, automated office work, and physical interaction. Furthermore, relying on computer vision, perception algorithms, and mechanical control technologies, the robot possesses embedded AI, enabling it to perceive the physical environment, autonomously understand scenarios, plan actions, and complete interactive and execution tasks in the real world, achieving a leap from "thinking" to "acting." In the future, we will continue to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and physical robots, providing more intelligent, efficient, and secure AI services for industries such as finance, manufacturing, healthcare, education, and government, helping enterprises upgrade digitally and intelligently, and ushering in a new era of intelligent robots.

What is a hard disk drive (HDD)?

Hard disk drives (HDDs) have been proven and trusted for decades. They are the cornerstone of data centers, enterprises, and creative studios worldwide. This technology, using rotating platters and read/write heads, has been continuously improved over decades to achieve reliability, massive capacity, and long-term data storage. Modern HDDs, such as the Western Digital Ultrastar series, with single-pane capacities up to 32TB, are the foundation of hyperscale data centers and enterprise storage infrastructure. With technologies such as energy-assisted perpendicular magnetic recording (ePMR) and heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), HDD capacity continues to increase while maintaining cost advantages.

What is a solid-state drive (SSD)?
