NEC Storage HS8
Data that needs to be stored over the long term has been increasing
rapidly, including backups of accounting data and archives of
e-mails to and from customers and business partners. NEC Storage
HS8 lets you increase your storage capacity easily as the amount of
data grows, thanks to its "automatic optimal configuration". Because
of its "Distributed Resilient Data", NEC Storage HS8 provides safe,
long-term storage for your data. Data is automatically migrated from
a node that has reached the end of its service life to a new node.
This makes it possible to replace old nodes with new nodes one at a
time, without inconveniencing the users of the system, at much less
cost than would be incurred when creating a completely new system.

You may want to store backup data in a remote location to
guard against the occurrence of a disaster, but are
discouraged by the potential cost. NEC Storage HS8, through
the use of its deduplication feature, achieves low-cost and
secure remote backup. Data is transferred only after
deduplication, so that it can be transmitted over a low-cost
low-speed line. Thus, you can realize finely tuned remote
storage while reducing your monthly line expenses.
Unlike the case with tape-based backup, there is no risk of
theft or loss during the transportation of media. Data loss in
the event of a disaster can thus be minimized.
Low-Cost Disaster Preparedness
- The amount of data to be transferred is reduced.
- Low-cost, low-speed line sufficient for the task.

The media management and tape replacement of tape-based
operations demand a large staff and considerable amounts of labor,
while tape transportation and storage are costly. Furthermore, as
the amount of data increases, tape-based operation will become
more and more cumbersome. These issues with tape operation
can be solved by NEC Storage HS8. Through the application of
deduplication, NEC Storage HS8 can store large amounts of data
with a high degree of efficiency, eliminating the need for tape
storage space. Because the operation is automated, the amount of
work that has to be done by staff is reduced. The cost and time
needed for backup/archiving can be reduced significantly.

NEC Storage HS8 lets you move the ever-increasing
amounts of data off your file servers safely and
conveniently. By automatically migrating less frequently
used files to NEC Storage HS8, which incorporates a
deduplication feature, increases in the quantity of data
can be suppressed and storage costs can be reduced.
Furthermore, data migration reduces the amount of
data to be backed up, so that the time needed for
backup can also be reduced. This increases the amount
of free space on your file servers, thus realizing a safe
and convenient file server environment.

Line-Up
With the latest enhancements in hardware and
software technology, NEC Storage HS8
achieves even higher levels of performance and
capacity.
NEC Storage HS8 is a scale-out type system
with which you can expand its capacity and
performance by scaling out to a total of 60
nodes.
You can start small and economically then
subsequently enhance your system as your
backup needs grow.
