Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V

The Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V platform represents the first-ever implementation of large-scale level of virtualization of a corporate class in combination with the software offering an opportunity of "thin" configuring. As a result virtualization of internal and external systems of data storage with formation of a uniform pool is provided. Clients receive the single integrated solution giving them an opportunity to take advantage of the consolidation provided due to virtualization of external systems of data storage and also the efficiency, benefits in terms of power supply and cooling connected with "thin" configuring.

Use the solution on data storage differing in the performance measures, best in the industry, and scalings, can any organizations, from the growing companies of the average level to the largest global corporations now. The solution is supplemented with a set of the services in data storage and work with them including the "thin" configuring using the software of Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning focused on applications management of data storage and logical segmentation and also the simplified and unified replication of the data which are stored in a heterogeneous pool of storage systems.

The compound component of architecture of service-oriented solutions of Hitachi on data storage, the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V platform provides a basis for correlation of requirements of applications with different classes of data storage. The Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V platform provides crucial services which treat: Virtualization in a uniform pool of storage systems of Hitachi and other producers The "thin" configuring using Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning providing expansion of volumes without work violation Services of security, ensuring business continuity and content management Balancing of transactions of input-output for the purpose of performance improvement of applications Dynamic data migration from storage systems of Hitachi and other producers without violation of operation of applications

Service-oriented solutions on data storage are allowed the IT organizations to propose to the clients representatives of business of the menu, consisting of different characteristics of data storage (for example, productivities, readiness, the price and security). At the same time the client pays services according to the choice. Use of service-oriented solutions allows to reduce expenses, to increase service life and to simplify transactions of management. The Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V platform provides a possibility of deployment of applications in new infrastructure and also allows to use completely — with increase in their advantage — the current investments and more precisely to approve IT with the business purposes.
