Four Flexible Models for Unparalleled Choice
: :
Hitachi TagmaStore Adaptable Modular Storage Models AMS200,
AMS500, and AMS1000 deliver the best price and performance in this
class for superior support of Microsoft Windows environments, ERP/CRM,
database, and backup and data protection applications in standalone
or networked environments in small-to-midsize organizations or tiered
storage in large enterprises.
: :
Hitachi TagmaStore Workgroup Modular Storage Model WMS100
delivers fast, reliable, and cost-effective SATA-based storage for
small-to-midsize organizations and workgroups.
Adaptable Modular Storage Model AMS1000
Designed and engineered for larger organizations using modular storage, the
TagmaStore AMS1000 provides superior connectivity, performance, and scalability.
The AMS1000 will support multiple mission-critical applications, such as ERP,
CRM, SCM, and legacy workloads. The AMS1000 offers several unique features
to support these important workloads, including cache partitioning for better
allocation of cache resources, RAID-6 for even greater data availability, LUN
migration for improved performance and more efficient hard disk drive (HDD)
allocation as well as Hitachi ShadowImage™ In-System Replication software
and Hitachi TrueCopy™ Remote Replication software for backup and recovery.
No other storage device in its class offers the flexibility of the AMS1000.
: :
Consolidation. Reduce the number of storage systems, maximize storage
utilization, improve storage administrators’ productivity, and bring
SAN, iSCSI, and network attached storage (NAS) under one storage and
management umbrella. The AMS1000 supports any two of these
protocols per system.
: :
Tiered Storage Deployment. Benefit from the economy of solutions
that match application requirements and value of data to the right class
of storage and move data between storage tiers (Fibre Channel and
SATA) as needed.
: :
Scalability and Performance. Meet application service level agreements,
and provide unequalled capacity and configuration flexibility compared
to traditional modular storage.
: :
Business Continuity. Leverage TrueCopy software to create a single infra-
structure for local and remote replication, backup, or disaster recovery.
TrueCopy software works in synchronous and extended distance modes
for local or long-distance replication.
: :
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Maximize storage utilization and
efficiency and improve storage administrators’ productivity.
