*1: Number of nodes cannot be expanded.
*2: Capacity for 3 parities. The effective capacity is calculated assuming a compression ratio of 20:1. (The compression ratio varies with the type of data.
*3: Calculated where 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes, 1 TB = 1,000 GB, and 1 PB = 1,000 TB.
*4: Performance achieved when OpenStorage Express I/O software is used with a typical full backup pattern (95% of existing data is duplicated).
*5: Can also be used with 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T.
*6: Supported software will gradually be increased. Contact us for details on supported software.
*7: No condensation both when operating and when on standby.
*8: Not including the front bezel, slide rails, and protrusions.
Optional Software

Drastic Reduction of Backup Costs Easy Installation for Beginners
NEC Storage HS3 can reduce the amount of stored data up to 1/20th* by
automatically detecting and eliminating duplicate data and compressing it.
By exponentially enhancing the capacity efficiency, NEC Storage HS3
achieves a unit cost that is less expensive than tape. In addition, NEC
Storage HS3 suppresses backup costs by reducing both the workload of
changing tapes, and the storage space needed for tape backup.
Varies with the data characteristics.

Duplicated data is consolidated into
one block, and only non-duplicated
data is compressed and stored
Deduplication and Compression
Even inexperienced users can smoothly install NEC Storage HS3
simply by entering the necessary information following the screen
navigation.
Reduced File Server Backup Time
Increased data volumes mean longer backup times. NEC Storage
HS3 eliminates the need for regular full backups. By performing only
Low-Cost Remote Backup
Businesses need to store backup data in remote storage devices as part of
anti-disaster measures to be implemented in case of earthquake, fire or flooding,
but traditional remote disk backup is very expensive. NEC Storage HS3 delivers
a secure remote backup system at low cost. Mass data can be deduplicated
and compressed, then transferred using a low-cost, low-speed line. You can
reduce monthly line costs while minimizing data loss in case of disaster.
daily incremental backups, a full backup is automatically synthesized
at high speed within the NEC Storage HS3. This reduces the load of
the business servers and networks, as well as significantly reducing
the backup time.
Conventional Backup
(Regular full backup is required.)
High-Speed Synthetic Backup
(
Incremental backup is performed
for 2nd and subsequent ba ckups.
)
NEC Storage HS3’s deduplication function can solve these problems!
Backed up and archived business data continues to pile up. Businesses need to improve their current backup environment to use this data
effectively. NEC Storage HS3 is an effective tool that can free you from complicated tape backup work and efficiently store large volumes of
data through the use of our original deduplication feature. NEC Storage HS3 reduces backup costs and space for media storage, as well as
staff workloads, by automating operations. NEC Storage HS3 will revolutionize your backup processes.
