Vivek Tyagi, WD/Sandisk elaborates on his portfolio and the market demands for each category.
WD expanding its wings to deal with storage challenges
In conversation with PCQuest, Vivek Tyagi, Director for India business development, SanDisk Commercial Sales and Support at Western Digital, spoke about the company strategies and technological developments.
What sort of product portfolio you have to deal with various market demands?
Eventually, with SanDisk acquisition, WD had a full portfolio of Flash, and hard drive they already had. They also started to build, full systems for the storage side applications. In summary, now the combined company has really good and large portfolio of enterprise storage solutions, which is divided into 3 categories.
The first category we call it as devices. Devices are not full storage solutions, but they are sub-systems for storage. For example, hard drive or flash drive for the enterprise. These products are either used by OEM’s like Dell, HP to build their storage systems, or they are also procured by very large E-commerce companies or hyper-scale companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, companies that build cloud by using these subsystems. So, these storage devices are one category of business that WD has.
The second category of business that we have is platform solutions. Platforms solutions are things like, JBODs of hard drives which are collection of hard drives into a very large capacity box. For example, they have 600 terabytes BU box. Again these boxes move a lot through channels, as well as they are used by cloud service providers to build big capacities at lower cost.
