AUTHORIZED PARTNER
Authenticity Guarantee: Authorized partners are vetted by manufacturers to sell genuine products. This virtually eliminates the risk of purchasing counterfeit items, ensuring you get the quality and performance you expect.
Warranty and Support: Products purchased from authorized partners typically come with the full manufacturer's warranty. Additionally, should you encounter any issues, you're more likely to receive prompt and official support, including repairs, replacements, or troubleshooting assistance.
Access to Full Product Range: Authorized partners often have access to the entire product line of a manufacturer, including the latest models and even exclusive items that might not be available through unauthorized channels.
Expertise and Advice: Authorized sellers usually have a better understanding and training on the products they sell, providing customers with knowledgeable advice tailored to their needs. This can enhance the shopping experience, ensuring you find the best product for your requirements.
Software and Firmware Updates: For tech products, buying from an authorized partner ensures that your device is eligible for software and firmware updates directly from the manufacturer. These updates can improve performance, add features, and fix bugs.
Resale Value: Products purchased from authorized dealers often retain a higher resale value. The assurance of authenticity and transferable warranties can make them more attractive to future buyers.
Peace of Mind: Overall, buying from an authorized partner provides peace of mind, knowing that you're getting a genuine product, backed by full manufacturer support, without any of the risks associated with counterfeit or gray market items.
These benefits, combined, create a compelling argument for choosing authorized partners over unauthorized resellers, especially for high-value items or when product authenticity and after-sales support are critical considerations.

Modular Building Block for Open, Composable Disaggregated IT Infrastructure
With the exponential growth in data, along with the increasing diversity of workflows and demands on IT infrastructure, businesses need to increase speed, agility, and time-to-value for their customers. Emerging as a solution for this, composable infrastructure is a new architectural approach that-using NVMe™-over-Fabrics-will vastly improve compute and storage utilization, performance, and agility in the data center.OpenFlex is based on scale-out performance and open composability.
Enabling Fast Data to Live Outside the Server
NVMe-over-Fabrics, or NVMe-oF™, is a networked storage protocol that allows storage to be disaggregated from compute to make that storage widely available to multiple applications and servers. By enabling applications to share a common pool of storage capacity data can be easily shared between applications or needed capacity can be allocated to an application to respond to application needs.
Exploiting NVMe device-level performance, NVMe-oF promises to deliver the lowest end-to-end latency from application to shared storage. NVMe-oF enables composable infrastructures to deliver the data locality benefits of NVMe direct attached storage (low latency, high performance) while providing the agility and flexibility of sharing storage and compute. OpenFlex's scale-out performance is particularly useful for large analytics tasks, large-scale high performance computing and other demanding workloads.
Multiple Storage Tiers over the Same Wire-Disk and Flash Accessed via NVMe-oF
In addition to enabling NAND flash media access using NVMe-oF, OpenFlex also enables disk and other IT components such as GPUs, FPGAs and even tape to be accessed via NVMe-of so that all data center storage can be addressed in the same way. The Western Digital NVMe-oF architecture is a huge step towards the software-defined data center- allowing storage to be assigned to applications without regard for where it is physically located. This is the essence of "composable infrastructure" where physical resources (compute, networking, storage) can be logically and dynamically configured and treated as a resource for a specific application without the need for physical configuration.
Western Digital has established the Open Composable Compatibility Lab (OCCL). The OCCL is where different vendors can come together to test and verify their Open architecture. The OCCL underscores Western Digital's commitment to having a dynamic community of technologies supporting composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI), which is an important step in providing the flexibility needed to keep up with the rapid rate of change in today's business environment.
