“The Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform provides advantages of a five-year power, cooling and space cost 62 percent lower than the closest competition.”

- Dave Vellante, ITCentrix

HIGH PERFORMANCE NAS PLATFORM

Green Hitachi Storage Solutions

Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning reduces space, power and cooling costs with fewer physical disks required, which results in lower “carbon footprints”

The Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V consumes up to 50% less power, cooling and space over a five year period versus competitive systems (Source: ITCentrix)

"IT Centrix's analysis of market leading high-end

storage solutions shows that for I/O-intensive

configurations of between 54 terabytes to 134

terabytes, competitive solutions consume 24- percent

to 52-percent more budget for power, cooling and

space over a five-year period than comparably

configured Hitachi USP Vs using virtualization and

Dynamic Provisioning,"

"Hitachi can look at performance environmental

information in a distinctive way by virtue of its unique

ability to separate the controller from the back-end disks…

Hitachi's universal storage controller engines can manage

thousands of terabytes behind a single engine…From an

overall power and cooling perspective, one can easily

equate this to comparing snow cones to cappuccinos.“
