AlRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, September 29, 2021<\/strong> \u2013 According to an IDC 2021 FutureScape, by 2021, at least 70% of digitally-enabled small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) will operate under a hybrid model of working, with remote work emerging as a norm\u00b9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can put pressure on business owners as they, their staff or IT consultants support advanced use cases like virtualization, collaborative editing and intensive database workloads in order to manage the seamless flow of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For SMBs, NAS \u2014 or network attached storage \u2014 is one of the most widely used methods for accessing, sharing and protecting data alongside the cloud. NAS solutions help SMBs solve for latency and remote shared access to data or applications across the network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSMBs need robust systems that are efficient and intuitive to manage, and in many cases they need some sort of infrastructure on-premises. A NAS solution can benefit SMBs of all sizes, providing the performance, capacity and reliability they need. For more advanced and performance intensive applications, however, the NAS system will need a boost,\u201d said Eric Spanneut, vice president of Client and Enterprise SSDs for Western Digital\u2019s Flash Business unit. \u201cOur new WD Red\u2122 SN700 NVMe\u2122 SSD is the perfect caching solution to complement our WD Red HDDs in a high-capacity NAS environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boost NAS Performance with a New NVMe SSD Cache Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leveraging its strength and leadership in flash, Western Digital today\u00a0announced the new\u00a0WD Red SN700 NVMe SSD<\/a>, a high-endurance, fast-caching solution that accelerates NAS performance\u00a0for SMB customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This powerful new drive is engineered to support 24\/7 NAS environments and always-on applications with the ultimate in reliability and endurance. Its fast system responsiveness and I\/O performance are perfect for multi-user, multi-application environments, letting SMBs tame their toughest projects from virtualization to collaborative editing to intensive database storage. Its slim \u201cgum stick\u201d design slips right into the NVMe-ready M.2 slot that is available in many of today\u2019s leading NAS enclosures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNVMe technology is now more integral to\u00a0QNAP solutions<\/a>\u00a0than ever before, with most of our RAID models supporting M.2 SSD caching as a standard,\u201d said Tamblyn Calman, sales and marketing director, QNAP. \u201cThe WD Red SN700 NVMe SSD helps to further enhance QNAP\u2019s product portfolio\u2019s storage capabilities by boosting the NAS system\u2019s read\/write speeds without adding to the overall number of disks in the array.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
