: Complements Universal Storage Platform (USP) and Lightning 9900 V Series enterprise storage systems in tiered storage deployments, which require common management tools and data movement for Data Lifecycle Management applications. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-systems/thunder.html.
: Offers best-of-class scalability and performance and more than holds its own for consolidating multiple Microsoft Windows servers—or any other deployment of a quick and easy SAN.
: Consists of an expandable “do it yourself” single Command Module, which can range from 180GB to 2TB in capacity with up to 4GB memory.
: Lets you move from server-internal storage to external redundant array of independent disks (RAID)-protected storage systems.
: Extends the application capabilities of modular storage and lets customers cost-effectively do more, including multi-tiered storage deployment in combination with the Hitachi Lightning 9900 V Series and large-scale consolidation of mid-range just a bunch of disks (JBOD) or older, enterprise-class storage. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/corporate/press-analyst-center/press-releases/2003/gl031008b.html.
: Supports demanding applications as a core system for small- and medium-sized businesses, and as an edge system for large enterprises, it helps meet strict compliance regulations for archiving information in cost-efficient tiered storage architectures.
: A data storage environment consisting of at least two kinds of storage, delineated by differences in price, performance, capacity, or function
: Lets IT administrators easily and interactively match application quality-of-service (QoS) requirements to heterogeneous storage assets. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-software/hicommand-tiered-storage-manager.html.
: A financial estimate designed to help consumers and enterprise managers assess direct and indirect costs commonly related to software or hardware.
: Provides a continuous, nondisruptive, host-independent remote data replication solution for disaster recovery or data migration over any distance. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-software/truecopy-remote-replication.html.
: An automated, intelligent, and path-aware storage resource management tool that maps, monitors, analyzes, and reviews storage network resources from the application to the storage device. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-software/hicommand-tuning-manager.html.

: An advanced technology for asynchronously replicating data hosted on Universal Storage Platform (USP) or Network Storage Controller (NSC)—or on externally attached storage systems from Hitachi Data Systems and other vendors. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/pdf/wp_165_universal_replicator.pdf.
: A crossbar switch architecture. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-systems/hitachi-universal-star-network.html.
: Provides the virtualization of a multi-tiered storage area network comprised of heterogeneous storage systems. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-software/universal-volume-manager.html.

: Making a single physical resource appear to function as multiple logical resources or making multiple physical resources appear as a single logical resource.
: Contains physical data from the primary volume (P-VOL).
: Balances workloads among disk drives, logical volumes, and processors by removing performance bottlenecks on Hitachi enterprise storage systems. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-software/multiplatform-backup.html.

: A computer network that covers a broad area.
: Offers high capacity, easy-to-install data storage ideal for small and midsized business (SMBs). For more information, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-systems/workgroup-modular-storage.html.
: Configured and managed from easy-to-use, graphical user interface (GUI)-based software that functions identically to software developed for the NAS Blade for Hitachi USP and NSC lines. For more information, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-systems/index.html.
: A unique identifier in a Fibre Channel or Serial Attached Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) storage network.
: A kind of computer storage media that can be written to once but read from multiple times.
