Celestica Inc., a leader in design, manufacturing and supply chain solutions for the world’s most innovative companies, launched the Athena G2 next-generation 2U rackmount NVMe storage array; the Nebula G2 all-flash storage expansion with PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs; and the Titan G2 next-generation 4U dense storage array. The products deliver flexibility and custom options for today’s most demanding applications on-premises or in public clouds.

Celestica will exhibit the following next-generation additions to its Hardware Platform Solutions (HPS) portfolio of cutting-edge storage, compute, networking, and webscale solutions during this week’s 2022 Flash Memory Summit (booth #746):

Athena G2: a high availability, dual-node all flash storage array that supports 24 PCIe NVMe dual-port solid state drives (SSDs). Its two redundant nodes are based on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.

Nebula G2: optimized for high performance and maximum capacity per enclosure, Nebula G2 is next generation, purpose-built storage, ideal for enterprise workloads from secondary storage to software-defined storage expansion.

Titan JBOD G2: designed with the latest SAS4 host interconnect, Titan G2 addresses the challenges of data growth and capacity needs in your enterprise.

“Celestica is committed to providing our customers with open, disaggregated data center infrastructure solutions that bring emerging technologies to market faster while lowering R&D and production costs,” said Gavin Cato, Head and CTO, Hardware Platform Solutions, Celestica. “We don’t impose one-size-fits-all solutions on our customers. We create innovative platforms and leverage our scale, working with customers on an individual basis to customize solutions that meet their specific needs.”
