AI storage infrastructure

The release also said 74 percent expected data volumes to grow by at least 25 percent over the next three years, while 85.4 percent reported growth in data-lake volumes over the past 12 months. Tim Rausch, Western Digital's senior vice president of hard disk drive development, was scheduled to discuss storage capacity, performance, power efficiency and economics at the event, according to Business Wire.
