When I was a teen, which to those who know me will be no surprise, I was the only computer-literate person, and surely the only computer geek, in the household. I recall telling my father at the time that we needed to upgrade the RAM in our PC from 4MB to 8MB. I recall his […]

The AI infrastructure conversation has a compute problem—not a shortage of it, but an obsession with it. GPUs, memory bandwidth, power density—these have dominated the discourse since the first wave of large model training. That focus made sense early on. But as AI moves from training into production at scale, the frame needs to change. […]

At scale, how you manage data—not how much compute you deploy—determines whether AI delivers sustained business value. AI infrastructure is still largely understood as structured around compute. It is more than that. In reality, it is a data system. For the past couple of years, most of the conversation around AI infrastructure has centered on […]

But at WD, we believe this moment requires more than speed—it requires intention. Because the most important question isn’t what can we automate?It’s what must stay human? This isn’t a tech shift—it’s a workforce transformation […]

Backup as strategic advantage In every era of digital transformation, there comes a moment when enterprises must redefine what “data protection” really means. For many organizations, that moment is today. On March 31—World Backup Day—we recognize that backing up data isn’t simply a defensive exercise. It is the foundation of enterprise resilience, the fuel for […]
