Hitachi dz-bp07s battery Abstracts Systems (HDS) today appear a fresh adaptation of its enterprise-class accumulator controller, the Hitachi Virtual Accumulator Platform, which replaces the Universal Accumulator Belvedere V (USPV) as its flagship offering.
With multicore processors, virtualized servers and broadcast computing, abstracts centers crave a added adjustable accumulator platform, one that can abound dynamically to accommodated appliance needs on the fly, according to Hu Yoshida, arch technology administrator at HDS.hitachi dz-bp14r battery
With the new hardware platform, HDS adds the capability to use SAS instead of Fibre Channel drives, along with solid-state drives (SSDs) and SATA drives, all within a single shelf on the array. Users can also mix and match 2.5-in. and 3.5-in. drives in the same shelf.hitachi dz-bp28 battery
HDS claims its new hardware, which comes with refreshed management software, can connect multi-vendor servers, networks and storage arrays under a single management interface. And it automates storage provisioning through a much finer-grained thin-provisioning process for both structured and unstructured data applications.
"hitachi dz-bp7sj battery is responding to what the customers want," said Rick Villars, an analyst with market research firm IDC. "They're saying they want them to make a more modular, efficient system that's easier to manage and administer."
HDS removed the word "storage" from its Hitachi Storage Command Suite, saying the management software now offers a more flexible method of controlling performance and power in the data center.
"Everyone is talking about the cloud and for the cloud we need agile infrastructures with multi-tenancy, but what they're getting from most vendors are siloed solutions. This platform was actually built for virtualized server environments," Yoshida said. "The redesigned Hitachi Command Suite is more business focused rather than just storage focused."
With the new storage platform, hitachi dz-bp7sw battery said it's adding more granular dynamic provisioning at the page level, which represents 42MB of data, versus moving data at the volume level. So the new HDS Virtual Storage Platform can spread a single volume of data across multiple tiers of drives to optimize performance at the page level, depending on what portion of the volume requires the highest performance.
"What it does is acquiesce you to accept a distinct LUN [logical assemblage number] amount assorted tiers of storage. That's new," said Claus Mikkelsen, HDS' CTO of Accumulator Architectures. "Before, you could accept a 50TB Oracle database and 95% of it hadn't been affected in months, but it's still on bank one storage. Now, those abeyant genitalia of the database will bore to the basal akin of the accumulator tiers automatically. There's no concrete aspect to a LUN now with Hitachi Activating Provisioning."

Mikkelsen said the fresh activating accessories will abate administrators from accepting to accede achievement tuning, how they'll lay out RAID configurations for applications and added performance-centric tasks. "It aloof doesn't charge to be advised any more," he said. "Just anticipate of a LUN now as aloof a alembic with no concrete aspect."
