Celestica announced the launch of its SD6300 ultra‑dense storage platform on November 17 2025. The 4U enclosure, measuring 1125 mm deep, houses 108 dual‑port large‑format LFF SAS drive bays, four dedicated SAS‑4 SSD bays, and a SAS‑4 uplink, allowing the system to deliver the industry’s most compact and high‑density JBOD solution while maintaining high‑availability architecture and rapid deployment for AI‑intensive workloads.
The SD6300’s design addresses the growing need for dense, high‑performance storage in AI, data‑lake, and enterprise environments. By fitting within a standard 1200 mm rack footprint, the platform maximizes floor‑space utilization, enabling customers to reduce both capital and operating expenditures. The 108‑bay configuration, combined with a 1125 mm depth, gives the system a storage density that outpaces competitors, a claim supported by TRENDFOCUS analytics and reinforced by Celestica’s own performance data.
Celestica’s Q3 2025 results—revenue of $3.19 billion (+28% YoY) and adjusted EPS of $1.58 (+52% YoY)—provide a strong financial backdrop for the SD6300 launch. Management raised its 2025 revenue outlook to $12.2 billion and adjusted EPS to $5.90, citing robust demand for AI infrastructure and the company’s ability to scale new product introductions. The SD6300 launch is positioned as a key driver of this growth, leveraging Celestica’s existing hardware platform solutions portfolio and its focus on end‑to‑end data‑center solutions.
The competitive landscape for ultra‑dense storage is intense, with several vendors offering high‑capacity JBOD solutions. Celestica differentiates itself through the SD6300’s combination of density, compactness, and SAS‑4 connectivity, which allows for higher throughput and lower latency compared to rivals. TRENDFOCUS’s endorsement of the platform’s density and the inclusion of the SD6300 in the Super Computing 2025 conference lineup further underscore its market relevance.
Gavin Cato, Celestica’s SVP & GM Portfolio Solutions & AI Platform Engineering, highlighted the platform’s significance: “The SD6300 is Celestica’s next‑generation ultra‑high‑density 4U JBOD with SAS‑4 system uplink. It is the industry’s most compact and densest storage expansion system, supporting 108 drive bays within a 1125 mm deep footprint.” The product will be showcased at Super Computing 2025 in St. Louis, MO, where analysts and industry leaders are expected to evaluate its performance against competing solutions, reinforcing Celestica’s position in the AI infrastructure market.
