Hitachi Solid State Storage Flash based

Tool storage technology with the new generation of solid state drive (SSD) flash-based product lines for the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V (USP) and the USP VM is available now.

SSD is a new generation of storage technology that is relatively faster and reliable than magnetic hard disk-based. Different from the traditional hard disk, SSD has no moving parts so that the more resistant rock, and faster data access.

Through a combination of SSD storage technology platforms and innovative service world-class storage virtualization, Hitachi provides superior performance for business critical applications, as well as increase utilization and reduce power consumption and cooling. Along with this, Hitachi will soon announce support for new flash-based drive that has not been recently introduced Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.

Estimated SSD adoption will increase an average of more than 70 percent each year until 2012, with enterprise-class storage applications that play an important role for the application I / O intensive. Flash-based SSD in the USP V will help Hitachi Data Systems to create differentiation in the bidding system on board, when installed together with the ability of virtualization, thin provisioning and management of integrated storage.

SSD flash based on high-speed flash memory to store and retrieve data. No mechanical parts, SSD is faster and become energy efficient solution for accelerating the work load heavy traffic on the I / O applications for enterprise-class storage such as high-performing online transaction processing, seismic data processing, foreign exchange trading, and so forth.

Affirm this commitment Hitachi Data Systems to continue to develop flash-based SSD technology. So that the user has access to the new generation of storage technology that is able to push up system performance, while lowering operational costs.

Package management software Hitachi Storage Command fully supports the layer of this flash-based storage, allowing storage administrators to simplify the replication functions, manage and make Tier (layer) of intelligent storage.

Hitachi Data Systems plans to provide flash-based SSD with 73 GB and 146 GB storage system for USP V and Hitachi USP VM in the first quarter 2009. Meanwhile, Hitachi Global Storage Technology is planning to send a new flash drive technology is in early 2010.
