Hitachi intros integrated file services platform

BANGALORE, INDIA: Hitachi Data Systems today launched its new file and content services to simplify data management.

It includes the Hitachi Data Discovery Suite, a new line-up of advanced network attached storage (NAS) services with the introduction of the Hitachi Essential NAS Platform and High-performance NAS Platform 3000 Series and a new version of the Hitachi Content Archive Platform.

“The launch helps companies in the Asia Pacific region to reduce IT costs and complexity, manage risk, increase operational efficiency and deliver more value through our integrated services oriented storage solutions platform,” said Srini Rao, chief technical manager, India, Hitachi Data Systems.

The Hitachi Data Discovery Suite delivers powerful content index and search services across NAS and content archive environments with a single query.

It breaks through the traditional barriers of stovepipe storage infrastructures and mitigates the risk of unmanaged or rogue data. It also empowers users to do file restores themselves as well as archiving files directly from SharePoint — saving Help Desk resources while at the same time promoting data privacy.

The Hitachi Data Discovery Suite will enable enterprise content management, e-mail archiving and other third-party applications to write directly to the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform and migrate that data to the Hitachi Content Archive Platform for long-term data preservation — allowing secure, seamless data discovery and migration across tiers of storage.

These capabilities can be extended to ISV partners or custom applications.
