Western Digital's data center unit adds to scale-out storage portfolio

#WesternDigital 's data center unit, which delivered its first system about 18 months ago, is launching an integrated storage system called the #ActiveScale P100 that's aimed at cloud providers and companies that traditionally used commodity hardware and open source software. The data center unit is notable since Western Digital already has three well-known storage brands that have been acquired.

Here's a look at the Western Digital operating units and brands.
