Hitachi data systems announces 'new era' in storage industry
15 May 2007
Hitachi Data Systems has launched what it calls a "new era in storage" that presents an alternative to the "one-size fits-all" approach.
The vendor has announced a range of enhancements designed to maximise storage capacity and reduce energy consumption.
Its Oriented Storage Solutions aim to provide a services-oriented approach that allows systems to be tailored to specific business needs.
These will apply service-oriented architecture concepts to storage to replace capacity-based chargeback models described as "inefficient".
Carl Greiner, senior vice president of infrastructure and software at Ovum, said that "the elimination of unique storage solutions and management to address each storage requirement will maximise leverage and lead to a truly optimised storage infrastructure".
John Webster, principle IT advisor at Illuminata, added: "The most interesting and compelling feature of Hitachi's strategy is that management metrics, quality-of-service, service level objective/agreement and recovery point objective are applied across all services layers.
"Seeing enterprise storage in the context of deliverable services is [the] key to unlocking both the realisable and chargeable value of virtualised storage."
