Western Digital

Today marks a major milestone for all of us at Western Digital as we officially embark on our journey as a standalone HDD company.   I couldn’t be more proud of what we have become and the incredible team that has brought us here. I had the privilege of joining the Day 1 celebration at our Prachinburi site, and the energy, passion, and commitment I witnessed were truly inspiring.   This is just the beginning, and I’m excited for what lies ahead! #WDC #Day1 #HDD #Teamwork #Proud Philip Bernard Chandra Anamirthan Venkat Sundararajan Jackie Jung Jeff Gajda James O'Reilly Peter Nisinman Swati Sarupria Colin Robinson Vive Supramaniam Adolphus L.

What is High-Performance Computing (HPC) and why does it matter? Think of HPC as teamwork for computers. Instead of relying on one machine to tackle a massive problem, HPC combines the power of many computers to process complex tasks faster and more efficiently. HPC systems power discoveries like simulating black holes, developing new materials, and advancing cancer research. They also handle everyday tasks—processing bank transactions, rendering animations, and even publishing social media posts like this one! In short: HPC systems are the engines behind much of our digital lives. Read more about #HPC and how it's evolving and becoming more sustainable at the blog: https://lnkd.in/gFYqfUtC

2025 is shaping up to be another groundbreaking year for AI innovation—but with great potential comes the need for smart strategy. Ravi Shankar G., Lead Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft, shares a crucial reminder for technology leaders: "Everyone will try to apply AI to their product, but that doesn’t mean it will be successful. So instead of trying to apply AI to your product and wasting huge amounts of resources, my advice is to first examine if and where AI makes sense and to leverage experts to look at the problem. Those resources will pay off." Read more AI insights from Ravi on the blog: https://lnkd.in/gpcaGYJ2
