VVC-Capacity-368_TB | OpenFlex Data24 NVMe-oF Storage Platform

High-Capacity and Low-Latency Storage

The Western Digital OpenFlex Data24 NVMe-oF Storage Platform (VVC-Capacity-368_TB, 1ES1914) is a 2U rackmount enclosure with 24 U.2 NVMe SSDs (15.36TB each), delivering up to 368TB of raw capacity. Using dual RapidFlex C1000 NVMe-oF controllers, it provides low-latency sharing over a high-performance Ethernet fabric (up to six 100 GbE ports), achieving performance comparable to locally attached NVMe SSDs, with up to 71 GB/s bandwidth and 15M IOPS at 4K block size for demanding workloads like AI and real-time analytics.

Flexible Connectivity and Scalability

The OpenFlex Data24 supports NVMe/TCP and RoCEv2 protocols, allowing up to 12 hosts to connect without a switch using RapidFlex controllers, or two for simpler SAS-replacement setups. Its disaggregated design integrates with Composable Infrastructure via Open Composable API, enabling flexible storage allocation. Compatible with systems like Ingrasys ES2000/2100, it ensures no bandwidth oversubscription, matching SSD and network I/O for optimal performance in scale-out/up configurations.

Reliability and Management

Built for enterprise reliability, the Data24 features dual-port SSDs with Secure Erase, hot-pluggable components, and redundant power supplies. A RESTful API simplifies management, while global support services ensure superior serviceability. The platform, including Ultrastar DC SN840 SSDs, is backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Users note its high availability for data centers, though some report complexity in initial setup for non-standard environments.
