Application Optimized Storage Solutions Scale

to Meet Your Needs

With many years of experience successfully serving FORTUNE 500 companies,

Hitachi Data Systems understands the storage challenges your organization

faces and recognizes your limited budget, staff, and data center space. Hitachi

Data Systems offers three modular lines—scaled to fit your organization’s envi-

ronment and budget, yet featuring many enterprise-level capabilities—to serve

as the foundation for Application Optimized Storage solutions. These solutions

match application requirements to storage attributes and help align IT with

business objectives, while simplifying storage infrastructures, streamlining

administration, and reducing costs. Further, by leveraging the industry

and application-specific expertise of Hitachi TrueNorth™ Channel partners,

Hitachi Data Systems brings you the optimal solution for your organization.

Four Flexible Models for Unparalleled Choice

: :

Hitachi TagmaStore Adaptable Modular Storage Models AMS200,

AMS500, and AMS1000 deliver the best price and performance in this

class for superior support of Microsoft Windows environments, ERP/CRM,

database, and backup and data protection applications in standalone

or networked environments in small-to-midsize organizations or tiered

storage in large enterprises.

: :

Hitachi TagmaStore Workgroup Modular Storage Model WMS100

delivers fast, reliable, and cost-effective SATA-based storage for

small-to-midsize organizations and workgroups.

Adaptable Modular Storage Model AMS1000

Designed and engineered for larger organizations using modular storage, the

TagmaStore AMS1000 provides superior connectivity, performance, and scalability.

The AMS1000 will support multiple mission-critical applications, such as ERP,

CRM, SCM, and legacy workloads. The AMS1000 offers several unique features

to support these important workloads, including cache partitioning for better

allocation of cache resources, RAID-6 for even greater data availability, LUN

migration for improved performance and more efficient hard disk drive (HDD)

allocation as well as Hitachi ShadowImage™ In-System Replication software

and Hitachi TrueCopy™ Remote Replication software for backup and recovery.

No other storage device in its class offers the flexibility of the AMS1000.

: :

Consolidation. Reduce the number of storage systems, maximize storage

utilization, improve storage administrators’ productivity, and bring

SAN, iSCSI, and network attached storage (NAS) under one storage and

management umbrella. The AMS1000 supports any two of these

protocols per system.

: :

Tiered Storage Deployment. Benefit from the economy of solutions

that match application requirements and value of data to the right class

of storage and move data between storage tiers (Fibre Channel and

SATA) as needed.

: :

Scalability and Performance. Meet application service level agreements,

and provide unequalled capacity and configuration flexibility compared

to traditional modular storage.

Business Continuity. Leverage TrueCopy software to create a single infra-

structure for local and remote replication, backup, or disaster recovery.

TrueCopy software works in synchronous and extended distance modes

for local or long-distance replication.

: :

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Maximize storage utilization and

efficiency and improve storage administrators’ productivity.

Adaptable Modular Storage Models AMS200 and AMS500

Designed for small-to-midsize organizations that require enterprise-quality

storage management capabilities, the Adaptable Modular Storage models

AMS200 and AMS500 offer excellent cost-efficient platforms in a modular

footprint. With support for both SATA and Fibre Channel drives, these systems

can be deployed as part of a tiered infrastructure, in a SAN, or even as tiered

storage ”in a box.”

: :

Microsoft Simple SAN storage platforms. Support Microsoft Windows

servers seamlessly using Plug-and-play SAN Kits from Hitachi Data

Systems, which are compatible with Microsoft Simple SAN.

: :

Scalability and Performance. Provide unequalled application-specific

performance and capacity that scales beyond 173TB.

Consolidation. Reduce the number of storage systems, maximize

storage utilization, improve storage administrators’ productivity,

and lower management and environmental costs.

: :

Application Quality of Service (QoS). Dedicate cache to specific

applications and volumes to enhance performance.

Tiered Storage Deployment. Benefit from the economy of solutions

that match application requirements and value of data to the right

class of storage.

: :

Configuration Flexibility. Host virtually any workload and multiple perform-

ance and archive requirements on the most economical storage system

with SATA and Fibre Channel intermix; use also for disk-to-disk backup

and tape replacement.

: :

Ease of Management. Simplify configuration and storage administration

via easy-to-use graphical user interfaces.

High Availability and Reliability. Leverage RAID-6 dual-parity striping for

more reliable rebuild in the rare event of a disk drive failure; maximize

uptime with redundant hot-pluggable components and high-reliability

Hitachi SATA implementation.

: :

Business Continuity. Leverage in-system and remote replication (AMS500

only) backup software to shrink backup windows and expedite recovery

from application failures.

Lower TCO. Maximize storage utilization, centralize management of stor-

age through consolidation, improve storage administrators’ productivity,

and reduce downtime.

Workgroup Modular Storage Model WMS100

Offering excellent scalability and performance, Workgroup Modular Storage

model WMS100 leverages cost-effective SATA drives without compromising

reliability and data integrity. The WMS100 can be quickly installed and config-

ured to serve as a core storage system or for fast SAN deployment in small

organizations or workgroups, or for data archive applications in tiered storage

deployments at larger enterprises.

: :

Microsoft Simple SAN storage platforms. Support Microsoft Windows

servers seamlessly using Plug-and-play SAN Kits from Hitachi Data

Systems, which are compatible with Microsoft Simple SAN.

Scalability and Performance. Provide excellent performance and

scalability beyond 40TB in a highly cost-effective SATA-based package

for small companies.

Consolidation. Reduce the number of storage systems, maximize

storage utilization, improve storage administrators’ productivity, and

lower management costs.

: :

Application QoS. Dedicate cache to specific applications and volumes to

enhance performance.

Configuration Flexibility. Dedicate to specific mission-critical applications,

deploy as part of a first SAN in small enterprises, or integrate into a

tiered storage infrastructure for archive, backup, or tape replacement in

larger companies.

: :

Ease of Management. Simplify configuration and storage administration

through easy-to-use graphical user interfaces.

High Availability and Reliability. Leverage RAID-6 dual-parity striping

for more reliable rebuild in the rare event of a disk drive failure; maximize

uptime with redundant hot-pluggable components and the high-reliability

Hitachi SATA implementation.

: :

Business Continuity. Leverage in-system replication and backup software

to shrink backup windows and expedite recovery from application failures.

Lower TCO. Maximize storage utilization, centralize management of storage

through consolidation, improve storage administrators’ productivity, and

reduce downtime.

Network Storage Controller Model NSC55

If your organization seeks additional functionality beyond that provided by

Adaptable Modular Storage or Workgroup Modular Storage, such as mainframe

connection or heterogeneous systems management, the Network Storage

Controller, model NSC55, can provide the functionality you need within a

modular, rackmounted, small-footprint package.

The NSC55 supports advanced storage management and data replication

features previously not available in this class of storage, delivering mainframe

as well as heterogeneous multiplatform connectivity via Fibre Channel, IBM®

ESCON® and FICON®, NAS, and iSCSI. With the NSC55 you can retain your

heterogeneous systems, aggregate them into a virtual pool, deploy them in

tiered architectures, manage them through a single console, and replicate

critical data using a common set of tools. By maximizing the use of your

existing resources and enhancing their functionality, the NSC55 allows you

to simplify your storage environment and reduce total cost of ownership.
