Best-in-class Data Technologies Transform Your Data Center into Your Information Center. Information has become our most valuable asset. The challenge for global businesses lies in making information both available and secure. Hitachi Data Systems solutions help organizations transform raw data into valuable information by delivering on a vision that IT must be virtualized, automated, cloud-ready and sustainable. Data drives our world - and information is the new currency.

AMS Adaptable Modular Storage Family The Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage models 2100, 2300, and 2500 are extremely scalable and reliable systems. Their SAS based drive architecture delivers industry leading price/performance for midrange systems. The 2000 family is the only midrange storage product line with symmetric active-active controllers that automatically perform many complex and time consuming tasks that administrator routinely face. Enterprise Innovation for Any Size of Company Your storage challenges grow more from the growth of your data than from the growth of your company. We understand that. No matter how big your business is, on these pages you will find enterprise storage capabilities that we've scaled to your needs. These scalable storage systems can manage many of your extremely complex tasks and give you operational efficiencies and performance you won't find anywhere else in a midrange system. What did we build into this family? We included dynamic provisioning to improve your utilization rates and simplify your storage management. It reduces your facilities and energy costs, too. We invented symmetrical active-active controllers to give you I/O balancing that is built into the hardware and is fully automated. It will reconfigure your storage for you when an application spikes or changes. How about 99.999% data availability? These systems will even update the microcode while your data remains online. VSP Virtual Storage Platform The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform is the only 3D scaling storage platform designed for all data types. It is the only storage architecture that flexibly adapts for performance, capacity and multivendor storage. Combined with unique Hitachi Command Suite management software, it transforms the data center. 3D scaling allows for optimal infrastructure growth in all dimensions *  Scale up to meet increasing demands by dynamically adding virtual storage directors, ports, cache and capacity to a control chassis, providing the highest performance for both open and mainframe environments. *  Scale out to meet multiple demands by dynamically combining multiple control chassis into a logical system with shared resources; support increased demand in virtualized server environments; ensure safe multi-tenancy and quality of service through partitioning of cache, ports and access control based on resource group. *  Scale deep to extend storage value by dynamically virtualizing new, existing external storage systems and extend Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform advanced functions to multivendor storage; offload less demanding data to external tiers in order to optimize the availability of the tier one resources. USP Universal Storage Platform Reaching previously unattainable levels of consolidation, the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V has redefined the storage industry. It represents the world's first implementation of a large scale, enterprise-class virtualization layer combined with thin provisioning software. That means the virtualization of internal and external heterogeneous storage into one pool has finally been achieved. Reaching previously unattainable levels of consolidation, the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V has redefined the storage industry. It represents the world's first implementation of a large scale, enterprise-class virtualization layer combined with thin provisioning software. That means the virtualization of internal and external heterogeneous storage into one pool has finally been achieved. Customers can obtain the consolidation benefits of external storage virtualization with the efficiencies, power and cooling advantages of thin provisioning in one integrated solution. An integral component of the Hitachi Services Oriented Storage Solutions architecture, the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V provides the foundation for matching application requirements to different classes of storage. The Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V packages and delivers critical services such as: *  Virtualization of storage from Hitachi and other vendors into one pool *  Thin provisioning through Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning for nondisruptive volume expansion *  Security services, business continuity services and content management services *  I/O load balancing to improve application performance *  Nondisruptive dynamic data migration from Hitachi and other storage systems Services Oriented Storage Solutions enables IT organizations to present business clients with a menu of storage attributes (such as performance, availability, cost and security) and charge for those services based on the client's selection. HNAS Hitachi NAS Platform The Hitachi NAS Platform, powered by BlueArc, extends its performance and scalability market leadership and delivers a robust platform for enterprise consolidation, file virtualization, data protection and commercial application integration.
