Hitachi Data Systems Addresses Storage Growth

Published: July 22, 2008

The amount of digital data created and stored continues to grow at an unabated pace in Asia Pacific.

Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a wholly–owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. and the only provider of services oriented storage solutions, noted that a services oriented approach makes it easier for organizations to get the most value out of their existing storage resources.

The amount of digital data created and stored continues to grow at an unabated pace in Asia Pacific. New regulatory and compliance requirements are driving organizations to store more data for longer periods of time and retrieval of archive data. A services oriented approach to storage provides customers the agility to align with changing business requirements by leveraging current investments.

“Consolidation, increasing utilization, eliminating redundancies, and archiving of stale data are some of the fundamental ways to address the issue of exploding data and storage growth. Innovation in key Hitachi technologies like controller-based storage virtualization, dynamic provisioning and active archive enables Hitachi Data Systems to offer best-in-class storage services that have tangible customer benefits like cost effectiveness, maximum utilization of existing resources, and business agility to mention a few,” said Hu Yoshida.
