Mohammed Owais, Regional Sales Director, Western Digital

Western Digital, a global leader in data storage solutions, showcased its latest high-capacity storage portfolio at Intersect Dubai 2026. At the event, Techitup Middle East spoke with Mohammed Owais, Regional Sales Director, Western Digital to understand why storage is no longer optional in today’s AI-driven world. Key Highlights: • Western Digital showcased its complete storage portfolio, including JBODs and JBOFs powered by Ultrastar HDDs with capacities up to 32TB. • The company also highlighted its Purple lineup, purpose-built for video surveillance and continuous workloads. • Data storage was positioned as the foundation of AI, with a clear message: without stored data, AI cannot function or deliver value. • HDDs continue to dominate data centers, with nearly 80% of data center storage still relying on HDD technology, a trend expected to continue for at least the next five years. • Storage is no longer an afterthought. It must be planned alongside compute, cooling, and energy when designing modern data centers. • In video surveillance environments, HDDs remain critical due to their cost efficiency and better total cost of ownership.
