Hitachi virtualization and tiered storage solutions, as part of Hitachi Data Systems Services Oriented Storage, enable organizations to strategically align business applications and storage infrastructure so that cost, performance, reliability and availability characteristics of storage can be matched to business requirements.
Fundamentally, Business Continuity is about data protection. Business information, in whatever forms it takes, either represents value or enables ongoing business operations; which generate income. Any data interruption, temporary or permanent, can be associated with tangible financial losses.
Today's escalating storage demands challenge you to simultaneously increase capacity, support rapid access to enterprise information and maintain 24/7 operations, all without additional budget or head count. Storage Management software can help you effectively manage your entire storage infrastructure -- from the application to the disk spindle -- and provide the quality of service your business needs.
According to recent analyst research, 80 percent of today’s data is unstructured. Common examples are e-mail, maps, reports, contracts, images, movies, spreadsheets, Web content and presentations—content not included in structured data management systems.
Many of the world’s largest organizations in the financial services, telecommunications and other key industries rely on IBM® mainframe systems to run mission critical applications. Hitachi has a long history of supporting mainframe environments.
While selecting the right storage system is important in non-virtualized environments, it is essential in virtualized server environments. It is especially vital as these environments evolve to include tens, hundreds or even thousands of virtual machines and business critical applications.
Hitachi Data Systems offers the first open, unified compute platform. It increases your IT agility in alignment with business, accelerates your time to market and reduces your costs of running data centers and private clouds.
