TagmaStore NSC55

Features: Hitachi Data Systems, provider of Application Optimized
Storage solutions has announced the availability of the Hitachi TagmaStore
Network Storage Controller model NSC55 “Disk-less” version.



The disk-less Network Storage Controller for midsized enterprises completely
separates the commodity media (disks) from the innovation (intelligent control
unit) required to provide storage, data and content services, enabling customers
to adopt the latest functionality and capabilities while utilizing existing
storage assets.

Hitachi's
approach to virtualization delivers total flexibility for IT buyers to match
application requirements to specific storage attributes. The NSC55 disk-less
version is available immediately from Hitachi Data Systems' global direct
sales force and through more than 500 channel partners worldwide.



The NSC55 disk-less version seamlessly manages up to 16 petabytes of externally
attached heterogeneous storage-including support for the latest high-end and
midrange storage systems from EMC, IBM, Hitachi, HP and Sun, among others. While
many small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) have an abundance of disk capacity
in their data centers, much of it remains underutilized.



With the NSC55 disk-less version, SMEs can significantly increase storage
utilization rates with Hitachi's Universal Virtualization Layer software. In
addition, the solution allows SMEs to apply advanced functionality to their
depreciating storage arrays-such as tiered storage management software and
storage-agnostic replication-thereby increasing their value to the business.
