Enrich products to enable innovation in the Internet of Things industry

With the explosive growth of the total amount of data, the application of storage solutions becomes particularly important. Especially in the industrial field, industrial storage plays a very important role. Because its application scenarios involve mechanical production, medical care, electricity, food, transportation and other fields, it has different product requirements from consumer storage, including longer life cycle, higher stability, etc, In addition, it is also required to support multiple interface modes of industrial products and adapt to the harsh temperature, humidity and other physical environments of industrial production.

Based on the experience accumulated in the storage field for many years, the industrial products of Western Data can provide edge storage solutions for industrial and Internet of Things applications that have high requirements for durability and reliability and need high-intensity records, to meet a wide range of operational needs. At the same time, due to special design and testing, WD's industrial products can withstand extreme temperature, humidity, vibration and other harsh environmental conditions, and have advanced memory management firmware, including power anti-interference, automatic/manual read and refresh, error correction code (ECC) and wear balance. Data (write) intensive applications can rely on Western Digital industrial products to record important moments and events, and ensure service quality for end users. These high durability solutions can extend the product life cycle, save expensive redesign costs, and minimize unnecessary maintenance costs, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO).

Taking the iNANDIX EM132 embedded flash disk of Western Data as an example, this is the first 3D NAND e.MMC designed by Western Data for industrial and Internet of Things equipment, which is equipped with the high reliability 64 layer 3D NAND flash memory of Western Data. There are two versions of the product with a wide temperature range, namely - 25 ° C to+85 ° C and - 40 ° C to 85 ° C. Compared with 2D NAND e.MMC products, Western Digital iNAND IX EM132 embedded flash disk has a longer service life, providing higher capacity options for industrial and consumer applications based on advanced operating systems, sensor fusion and machine learning technologies. The product also has features designed for intensive industrial workloads, including advanced health management, thermal management, intelligent zoning, automatic and manual read and refresh, powerful power management, and so on.
