Less Is More - Introducing Hitachi NAS Platform

With simple management and reduced cost Hitachi NAS Platform, powered by BlueArc® certainly requires less. It also gives you more: intelligent file tiering and capacity up to 2 petabytes (PB). The new Hitachi NAS Platform is built for the enterprise. Get the value of more and less.

In a VMware or Microsoft® Exchange environment you'll see:

• More efficient and faster workload performance
• More VMs and simultaneous mailbox accesses
• More storage management capabilities with dynamic provisioning

Hitachi NAS Platform helps you handle increases in your unstructured data:

• Less worry about data growth when you can scale to 2PB capacity
• Less pressure on operating expenses with lower power and cooling needs
• Less initial capital expense since you buy what you need only when you need it

Unused storage is a needless waste and you need less waste these days. More than anything, you need to meet your growing data needs with your shrinking budget. The new Hitachi NAS Platform gives you the balance to control both with incredible capacity, enterprise features and environmentally friendly benefits. If you want to upgrade or consolidate your NAS appliances this is where you should start.
