The system supports both block-or-file only and unified (block and file)
configurations in open and mainframe environments. The unified systems
contain Hitachi Network Attached Storage servers and switches in addition to
the block controller and storage drives.
Typical system configurations
The storage system can be configured to a meet a variety of storage needs
and typical configurations based on customer use-cases are described in the
list.
•
Tiered storage:
: A storage system configured for tiered storage consists
of multiple drive types, including: high-performance flash modules to fast
data access, medium performance and capacity for most storage needs,
and maximum capacity for data warehousing, all in one system. A tiered
storage system can be configured with FMD (flash module) drives, SSD
(solid state disk) drives, SAS drives (either SFF or LFF) and High capacity
LFF drives. Software applications such as Dynamic Tiering allocate data to
the appropriate drives based on frequency of access.
•
Maximum performance:
: A storage system configured with only flash
module drives delivers maximum performance. This two-controller system
can contain 12 FMD chassis with a total of 576 flash module drives. This
system is designed for an on-line retail site where customers expect fast
access to multiple images, or a hospital medical imaging system, where
physicians need immediate access to 3D CAT or MRI images.
•
Maximum storage capacity:
: A storage system containing 12 LFF
chassis with a total of 1152 LFF drives provides the maximum storage
capacity. This system configuration with less priority for high-speed access
is ideally suited for use as a data warehouse for medical or insurance
records.
Software applications
The storage system provides the foundation for matching application
requirements to different classes of storage and delivering critical services,
including:
• Business continuity services
• Content management services (search, indexing)
• Thin provisioning
• Dynamic Tiering
• High availability
• Security services
• I/O load balancing
• Data classification
• File management services
