CIOL:Hitachi unveils new storage solns

BANGALORE: Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a provider of Application Optimized Storage solutions and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd, today launched a suite of new solutions designed to address the growing storage requirements of medium-sized companies around the world.

Continuing on the company’s laser focus to bring leading enterprise capabilities to a broader set of customers, Hitachi’s powerful suite of solutions delivers enterprise-grade data protection, storage consolidation, and improved management of Microsoft Windows and SQL Server environments at a mid-market price.

Microsoft-based solutions

Many mid-sized companies that depend on the Microsoft platform for mission-critical applications are faced with challenges such as managing availability, scaling quickly to keep pace with growth, meeting tight backup windows, ensuring that Microsoft applications co-exist reliably with other software platforms and protecting critical systems from attacks on privacy, security and integrity.

Hitachi Solutions for Microsoft Environments provide fully integrated, high-performance methods to quickly lower the costs of managing Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server environments.

Data protection and disaster recovery solutions

Business continuity, regulatory compliance and data recovery can be expensive and resource-intensive requirements for mid-sized organizations today. Hitachi Solutions for Data Protection and Disaster Recovery, which are easy to install and manage on a limited budget, can simplify administration of sophisticated cross-platform data protection strategies and significantly reduce overall administrative time to ensure lower total cost of ownership.

Simplification and consolidation solutions

Exponential data growth in mid-sized organizations often leads to unwieldy proliferation of servers, operating systems, and storage solutions requiring multiple management tools and interfaces. Storage administrators are faced with challenges such as hard-to-manage “islands” of underutilized equipment, poor backup and restore performance, excessive staffing requirements and both scheduled and unscheduled downtime.

Hitachi’s Solutions for Storage Consolidation simplify and centralize data storage, providing easy, cost-effective ways to deploy, maintain and scale storage configurations to accommodate increasingly complex business needs.

"Hitachi Data Systems' new suite of solutions provides great benefits to the partners as well as the customers they are serving," said Janet Waxman, vice president, Hardware Channels Research, IDC Research. "All data is critical and customers are not willing to let go, or in some cases not allowed to let go of any of it, therefore the partner opportunity to bring simplification to data management for customers in the mid-market is a tremendous growth opportunity for these partners. This allows the partner to leverage Hitachi's offering as a tool from which the partner can add services for a completely integrated solution."
