What would you do with the world's most advanced, high-end midrange storage system?
True to its roots, the new Hitachi TagmaStoreT Adaptable Modular Storage model AMS1000 proves itself as the foundation for storage strategies that support business activities.

So the answer to "What would you do.?" could be, ".I'd do it all." Because this latest addition to the Adaptable Modular Storage line was launched with unique features and unprecedented tiered storage capabilities, making it possible to align business applications and storage infrastructure with ease. Now, at your discretion, cost, performance, reliability and availability can be matched to specific business requirements-in the highest capacity and highest availability storage system in the midrange category.

Storage managers talk about the urgency to provide their "customers," that is, coworkers as well as the public, with the responsive service they need to get through their day efficiently. As a standalone storage system, the AMS1000 allows the mix and match of multiple tiers of storage in a single rack, including 250GB, 400GB, and 500GB SATA hard disk drives. This means that online applications which demand the fastest response time on high-speed Fibre Channel drives get what they need when they need it. Later, "old" data can be moved nondisruptively to SATA drives, an economical choice for archiving or data mining.

The AMS1000 can also serve as externally attached tiered or archive storage in a virtualized environment that is managed by the Hitachi TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform or Network Storage Controller using Hitachi Universal Volume Manager software. What are just a few of the AMS1000 feature benefits?

  • Provides industry-leading 13GB/s cached bandwidth so you can obtain exceptional performance and availability for your important business applications- Microsoft Exchange, Oracle, or SAP
  • Offers native integrated multiprotocol support including iSCSI, NAS, and Fibre Channel in a single system, reducing complexity and saving footprints
