"Targeting the small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and distributed enterprises, Hitachi introduced the Simple Modular Storage 100 (SMS 100). This low-cost, entry-level storage system is a solution that is easy to use, manage and simple to install, and provides non-disruptive operations for up to five years or more, with virtually no maintenance or service required. In addition, a unique user-friendly auto-migration capability is available for upgrades, eliminating future data migration service requirements."– Ovum Learn More

"There are two very important aspects of HDS’ strategy that make this more than just another storage system targeted towards the SMB market. First, they provide transparent data migration from internal and DAS storage to the HDS SMS. Storage vendors want you to implement a storage network, and enabling you to move from a non-networked environment should be a no-brainer consideration. However, very few actually provide you the tools to make this happen simply. Big points to HDS for supporting DAS-to-SAN migration."– Enterprise Strategy Group Learn More
