Hitachi enhances application optimized storage solutions

Telecom Asia, August, 2004 by Fiona Chau

Hitachi Data Systems Corp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, has introduced a new Serial ATA (SATA) intermix option for its Thunder 9500 V series of modular storage systems.

This option creates the world's first "in-a-box" high-speed fiber channel with SATA tiered storage capability, Hitachi says.

It offers up to 107 TB in a single storage system and is targeted at the increasing number of fixed content applications, where the need for data integrity and availability is high but access requirements are much less frequent than with operational data. Fixed content applications include email archiving, database archiving, digital archiving by broadcasters, and medical systems and disk backup.
