Storage Area Networking

Since the storage area network (SAN) first broke the traditional server/storage bond, Hitachi Data Systems has been helping organizations lower their total cost of storage ownership.  SANs make large storage pools shareable across the enterprise, centralize storage management and dramatically improve storage utilization, which results in lower costs. At the same time, they can provide better performance for the applications that drive your business.  Hitachi Data Systems leverages its partnerships with Brocade, Ciena, Cisco Systems, Emulex and QLogic to support this innovative technology.

BladeSymphony Servers

BladeSymphony 2000
BladeSymphony 2000 takes enterprise-class blade computing to a whole new level. Powered by Intel Xeon 5600 & Xeon 7500 Series processors and built on a balanced system architecture that combines massive throughput, Hitachi embedded virtualization, and unprecedented configuration flexibility, this new 10U, 8-blade system is aimed squarely at the most I/O-intensive workloads and/or consolidation through virtualization.

BladeSymphony 320
Blade Symphony 320 is pushing consolidation to the edge. It is the ideal consolidation platform for the edge tier or the application tier of the enterprise data center. This 6U system packs up to 840 cores into a standard 42U rack - a space savings of 60% compared to rack servers. Consolidation just doesn't get any simpler - or more efficient.
