Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., has announced the unified storage product that provides enterprise-class virtualisation for all data types (block, file and object). The new Hitachi Unified Storage VM (HUS VM) separates itself from the competition by enabling 90 percent faster data migration and 30 percent better total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to non-virtualised systems.
Designed specifically for medium enterprises in India, HUS VM simplifies operations and enables more efficient storage management across all virtualised storage assets, including multivendor storage. HUS VM is also supported by Hitachi Command Suite management software as part of a single software management platform. This configuration helps customers deliver storage service levels when, where and how they need them. Backed by Hitachi reliability, HUS VM is the only unified storage product to provide a 100 percent data availability guarantee.
As the first unified storage platform with enterprise-class virtualisation for all data types, HUS VM brings to medium enterprises much greater capacity-efficiency across all storage assets.
According to Vivekanand Venugopal, Vice President and General Manager, India, Hitachi Data Systems, “Today Hitachi Data Systems has redefined what virtualisation means to medium enterprises in India by bringing our industry-leading virtualisation capabilities to this market segment. Now all sizes of enterprises can virtualise, manage and unify their choice of data on a single platform. No other IT systems company today offers the combination of performance, scalability and virtualisation capabilities that Hitachi Data Systems does with the new HUS VM. Customers can now deploy storage for all data types and easily grow to meet expanding requirements while still meeting service level objectives for critical business applications. They can meet these business needs and still control the costs of managing their most valuable information. Alongside our market-leading Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and Hitachi Unified Storage, we now have what we believe to be the industry’s strongest portfolio spanning small, medium and large enterprises.”
