Continued Customer Momentum For Hitachi Virtualised Tiered Storage

Hitachi Data Systems has announced continued worldwide customer momentum across several industries with Hitachi virtualised tiered storage solutions. Customers reportedly have realised greater efficiencies throughout their data centers by using HDS storage virtualisation offerings.

Today’s rapid information growth combined with shrinking IT budgets requires organisations to make information both available and secure, but with fewer resources and without sacrificing performance or capacity efficiency.

With Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) and Hitachi Command Suite management software, HDS claims thatcustomers benefit from increased performance, flexibility and simplified management to address complex data center environments - all while reducing power consumption and total cost of ownership (TCO).

“Organisations are seeing immediate performance and cost reduction advantages in storage virtualisation technologies. They are also noticing the long-term benefits of more manageable and scalable solutions”, said Bob Madaio, senior director, infrastructure platforms marketing, Hitachi Data Systems. “We find increasingly that customers across all industries want to move their private cloud initiatives forward by virtualising compute and storage resources. Their goal is to become as agile as possible and to innovate with their information. Unique, built-in and trusted storage virtualisation capabilities in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform help customers reclaim storage capacity, automate storage tiering, and reduce disk drive costs by as much as 70%.”
