Description
The WD OpenFlex F3200 Series (Model 1EX2517) delivers a revolutionary approach to IT infrastructure, enabling scalable, high-performance data centers through NVMe™-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF™). Built on open composability principles, it allows for disaggregation of storage and compute resources—significantly enhancing utilization, agility, and performance.
Ideal for modern workloads such as large-scale analytics and high-performance computing, the F3200 supports multiple storage tiers including flash, disk, and accelerators like GPUs—all addressable over the same NVMe-oF wire. Backed by Western Digital’s Open Composable Compatibility Lab (OCCL), this fabric device is engineered for flexibility and seamless multi-vendor integration within a software-defined data center.
