Quote
"The Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform, powered by BlueArc, resets the NAS gateway capability bar in much the same way as the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform, Adaptable Modular Storage and Network Storage Controller solutions reset SAN-based scalability, performance and virtualization. As Hitachi Data Systems evolves, the integration of its file- and block-based solutions, including common and comprehensive management with the Storage Command Suite, the convergence of SAN and NAS will become a reality for the most demanding and diverse storage environments."
—Carl Greiner, Ovum, "Hitachi enters the high-performance NAS market"
