Hitachi Data Systems Corp. has announced the general availability of its new Hitachi Network Attached Storage (NAS) Platform, with two new solutions that push the envelope in performance, scalability, consolidation and management for midrange storage. The Hitachi NAS 3080 and 3090 offer the most integrated native Intelligent File Tiering capability in midrange today, and include a variety of benefits designed specifically to increase productivity and simplify storage management.
The new Hitachi NAS Platform tops the industry with up to 2PB of capacity and 100K IOPS per node, which enables the most robust consolidation for midrange companies. The NAS Platform also offers native Intelligent Tiering capability and are tightly integrated with the Hitachi Data Discovery Suite to enable customers to move data automatically among Fibre channel, SAS, SATA and archive tiers based on pre-set policies, search the content across storage silos and use the search results to trigger data movement.
The Hitachi NAS 3080 and 3090 offer high-end performance and scalability at a midrange price for “pay-as-you-grow” flexibility and simplified management of storage resources. Specifically, it includes the industry’s most integrated file based tiering, enabling customers to automatically migrate between high cost and low cost storage media to simplify management and balance performance with storage utilization.
The Hitachi NAS Platform is optimized with Hitachi storage systems and the Hitachi Storage Command Suite, offering customers a single console for management of unified NAS and SAN environments. Similarly, Hitachi NAS is fully integrated with commercial application environments such as Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and Oracle while used in VMware vSphere environments. Application administrators can use Hitachi NAS for their primary (iSCSI) and secondary backup, restore, archiving and disaster recovery storage.
The entry Hitachi NAS 3080 model reaches 1PB of capacity. The Hitachi NAS 3090 reaches 2PB and supports 256TB of file system, vastly superior than the 16TB file system size offered with most other NAS offerings available today. The new Hitachi NAS Platform is designed specifically for data-driven organizations in a variety of markets and is especially suited for healthcare applications. With Hitachi's single, integrated platform for all content types, healthcare providers can easily tackle the large amount of content they manage everyday – from file, content to block – all from a single pane of management. The new Hitachi NAS Platform accelerates access to all data types such as patient records and billing information, consolidates the IT environment and simplifies the electronic management of patient records as they move through their lifecycles.
