TechValidate Research on Hitachi Enterprise Storage

Hitachi storage virtualization improved our disaster recovery process by virtualizing lower cost storage and still have it accessable and manageable. It’s made migration between Tiers a non-event.

Storage virtualization has simplified management as we’ve grown. Also, it has allowed us to migrate from external arrays as they come off maintenance without impact to users.

Being able to virtualize our storage and manage and move data on the fly has been a game changer for us.

The VSP seamlessly allowed us to migrate 5 separate storage platforms into 1 with virtually no downtime and reduced our management time by a factor of 2.

Every IT organization needs to remain competitive. Hitachi Data Systems helped us to lower costs and simplify management of storage. Migrations are now easier.

HDS has enabled us to maximize our investment of cross vendor storage over a longer time period.

Hitachi Data Systems can virtualize existing storage systems, typically reclaiming 30 to 50% of the capacity and thereby delivering an immediate ROI.

With HDS we also have administration through a single console, ease of data migration from LCM arrays and use of Hitachi technologies on other vendor virtualized frames.
