Storage is a growing industry with many new market players offering various alternatives to the traditional enterprise storage technology. This has been the result of the organic growth in structured data as well as the massive growth in semi and unstructured data.
When determining whether any storage technology is truly enterprise, an organisation needs to understand the heritage and capabilities of the technology under investigation. Although many technologies are marketed under the guise of enterprise storage, this is often done to mislead clients.
When investigating whether a storage technology is worthy of being termed enterprise, there are some key points that need to be considered:
- Tightly Coupled Architecture
- Cartesian Scalability
- Integrated Features and Functionality
- Linear Performance Scalability
- Cache-Centric , Non-blocking Design
Once these key differentiators have been duly considered and investigated, clients will be in a position to identify why technologies like the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) is truly an enterprise storage technology when compared to its competitors in the storage market space.
The new VSP is the industry’s first 3D scaling storage platform designed for all data types. The VSP is the only solution that can dynamically scale up, scale out and scale deep to flexibly adapt for performance, capacity and virtualisation of multivendor storage. As such, it can dynamically scale from small configurations and adapt as customers’ needs evolve. More information on 3D scaling and further details on the key features of the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform can be found in the following press release also issued today: “Hitachi Data Systems Unveils the World’s First 3D Scaling Storage Platform for Unprecedented Cost Savings and Agility.”
