A High-Performance, Scalable Big Data Appliance
Archive First: An Intelligent Data Archival Strategy, Part 1 of 3
For many IT organizations there is simply too much file data to deal with. You may have some of the significant IT challenges, such as inadequate storage space, long backup and restore operations, limitations on available power and floor space, extended or even infinite retention periods, finding the right information in a timely manner, and more. The first step to controlling this file – or "unstructured" – data is intelligent archiving, which preserves access to data from its original location, and stores the data elsewhere. Storing that data in a platform that scales while consuming the least resources possible, protects and preserves data, makes it always available and easily accessible, and helps you extract value from previously "dark" data.
Attend this webcast to learn how to:
- Reclaim or defer high performance storage purchases.
- Save more on all the costs of owning and maintaining growing content.
- Back up less data and reduce capacity needs.
- Set yourself up for what’s next.
Speaker: Peter Sjoberg, senior director, Americas File, Content and Cloud Solutions, Hitachi Data Systems
Reduce Costs and Complexity with Backup-Free Storage
The growth in unstructured data stresses traditional backup and restore operations. Numerous, disparate systems with large numbers of files and duplicate copies of data increase backup and restore times and hurt the performance and availability of production systems. Cost and complexity rise, with more backup instances to buy and manage, more care and handling of an increasing numbers of tapes, and more management of offsite storage. In addition, you may need to support analytics, a compliance audit, or legal action that needs information that is stored offsite. By tiering data to an archive, you can reduce total backup volume by at least 30%. By extending that core archive to the edges of your business, your potential gains are worth investigating.
Attend this webcast to learn how to:
- Lower capital expenses (hardware, software, licensing, and so on).
- Control maintenance costs.
- Simplify management complexity.
- Reduce backup volume, time cost, and time and administrative effort.
Speaker: Nick Jarvis, director, File, Content and Cloud Solutions Verticals – Americas, Hitachi Data Systems
Consolidate More: High Performance Primary Deduplication in the Age of Abundant Capacity
Increase productivity, efficiency and environmental savings by eliminating silos, preventing sprawl and reducing complexity by 50%. Using powerful consolidation systems, Hitachi Unified Storage or Hitachi NAS Platform, lets you consolidate existing file servers and NAS devices on to fewer nodes. You can perform the same or even more work with fewer devices and lower overhead, while reducing floor space and associated power and cooling costs.
Attend this webcast to learn how to:
- Shrink your primary file data without disrupting performance.
- Increase productivity and utilization of available capacity.
- Defer additional storage purchases.
- Save on power, cooling and space costs.
Speaker: Yong Kim, technical director, Americas File and Content Solutions, Hitachi Data Systems
Big Data – Shining the Light on Enterprise Dark Data

Attend this session and learn:
- What is enterprise dark data?
- How can enterprise dark data impact business decisions?

The Economics of Storage Virtualization
Virtualization in the data center is a
stable and proven approach to make IT more efficient from desktops to
servers and from networks to storage. Whether storage virtualization is
host-based, controller-based or through an appliance, it is a core
ingredient in economical IT architectures. As in most new technology
investments, you need a clear understanding of the benefits versus the
costs. When you can project a positive ROI and fast payback, your
projects gain more traction with IT management. Storage virtualization
is a critical element for any organization that wants to significantly
reduce unit costs in 2012.
Does
storage virtualization make sense for you and your storage environment
now? Are there economic benefits for you with this technology? What
benefits and cost metrics do you need to build your own business case
for Storage Economics? Are you aware of the compound advantage that
storage virtualization and server virtualization make on your data
center operations and costs?
Join
David Merrill, Hitachi Data Systems chief economist and global business
consultant to understand:
- Types of costs that virtualization
can directly address (and reduce)
- Qualitative
benefits of virtualization and how to convert them to cost savings
- Quantitative methods to measure and predict cost
savings of virtualization in data migration, space reclamation, storage
management tools, storage management effort and consolidations
- Qualitative impact of combining server, desktop and
storage virtualization
- Cost savings by large and
small IT organizations around the world through virtualization of their
storage infrastructures
