Hitachi Announces Universal Storage Platform V

Hitachi Data Systems has introduced the Universal Storage Platform V, a storage services platform, with a 3.5 million input output operations per second (IPOS), next generation heterogeneous virtualisation and increased storage port performance for external storage.

“The USP V takes performance to another level,” said Tony Asaro, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, Hitachi Data Sytems. “This is also innovation at its best—improving the architecture of a storage system to raise its performance at nearly all levels—in leaps.”

According to Carl Greiner, senior vice president, Infrastructure and Software, OVUM, “The announcement of the USP V begins to render any controller performance or scalability issues mute and virtualisation-enabled dynamic provisioning allows storage utilisations to exceed 85%, delivering unique economies to storage infrastructures. This announcement most definitely takes storage virtualisation to a new level.”
