What is it.that our competitors don't want you to know about our active archive solution?

It's a massively scalable active archive solution, no question. In the face of information growth, regulatory compliance, and governance standards, the Hitachi Content Archive Platform's unique SAN-based architecture takes the Services Oriented Storage SolutionsT strategy to a new level, exploiting Storage and Data Services to address the delivery of Content Services. The Content Archive Platform responds by fully leveraging Hitachi storage capabilities for high availability, performance, and multi-petabyte scalability, providing not just secure retention.but rapid, trouble-free retrieval as well.

How do you to define data categories within your operations?

Structured data: Content held within the well-defined constructs of a database; critical to organizations that rely upon online transactions and 24/7 access to transaction-related information.
Semi-structured data: E-mail messages and unstructured documents structured by e-mail metadata, such as who sent the message under what subject with what attachments to whom and when.
Unstructured data: Documents, spreadsheets, graphics, still and moving images, and other data formats stored in file systems.

It's the single online repository for all content types. The Content Archive Platform, with Hitachi Content Archiver software, powered by Archivas�, is capable of holding structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, eliminating the need for separate islands of content archives. It allows an integrated search and index of the archive, including search of file contents; a unique capability still unavailable with traditional content addressable storage (CAS) products.

Two new pre-configured base models are now available to scale horizontally to archive content across a variety of applications and vertically to address the continuing growth of content that must be retained:

  • Hitachi Content Archive Platform with 5TB of capacity
  • Hitachi Content Archive Platform with 10TB of capacity
Each model includes servers, software, and storage and can scale as capacity or application throughput requirements grow.
