Western Digital 1EX2416 Western Digital OpenFlex 1EX2416

The OpenFlex F3x00 and E3000 is a 3U rack mounted data storage enclosure built on the OpenFlex platform. OpenFlex is Western Digital’s architecture that supports Open Composable Infrastructure (OCI). The OpenFlex F3x00 and E3000 are fabric devices that leverage this OCI approach in the form of disagreggated data storage using NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF™). 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 regardless of location. Exploiting NVMe™ device-level performance, NVMeoF 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 DAS (low latency, high performance) while providing the agility and flexibility of sharing storage and compute.
The maximum data storage capacity is 614TB when leveraging a full set of 10 F3x00 fabric devices.
The enclosure runs on an input voltage of 200V - 240V and consumes ~1400W of power under typical conditions. It requires a maximum of 1600W at full load.
