Modular Storage Systems
Organizations of just about every
size today are confronted with storage
challenges similar to those faced
by the largest enterprises,but with
reduced budget, staff,and data center
space. For these customers, Hitachi
Data Systems offers Application
Optimized Storage™solutions
built on modular, cost-effective
storage systems with management
capabilities previously not available.
Storage Challenges
As your organization seeks to gain a competitive advantage and grow in your
respective market while also trying to comply with regulatory requirements,
you are facing many of the same data storage challenges and pain points as
large enterprises:
::
Data growth is continuously accelerating.
::
Applications are not meeting performance and availability expectations.

Four Flexible Models for Unparalleled Choice
::
Hitachi TagmaStore Adaptable Modular Storage Models AMS200,
AMS500, and AMS1000
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,
ovide unequalled capacity and configuration flexibility compared
and pr
to traditional modular storage.
::
Business Continuity. Leverage TrueCopy software to create a single infrastructure for local and remote replication, backup, or disaster recovery.

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.
