HDS伴随数据中心存储发展历程
结合卫生信息化“35212工程”的方案构想
当用户告知我们传统的存储购买需求，我们能够满足，USP提供高达332TB的容量。
可是当其他厂商还在沉迷于传统存储的理念，专注于制造巨无霸式的存储时，我们已经在革新存储理念，3年前就推出了创新的存储科技，将存储控制器与磁盘柜分开，通过存储内置的虚拟化引擎挂接其他的存储，所有存储整合为一个虚拟的存储池，消除了设备之间的物理差异，池中的所有资源被统一管理，统一使用，按需分配，被广大媒体称颂为存储的发展趋势，并立为新一代智能存储的标杆
At Hitachi, we say “the future is here!,” the separation of storage controller from the disk array.
If you take a look at this image, it is a depiction of Hitachi’s USP flagship multi-cabinet module, which I believe it’s the USP 1100. Naturally, there are disk drives to the left and right of the central control unit, so customers can naturally say ‘I’d like tiered one storage, high-speed fiber channel,’ and they can obviously purchase as much capacity, up to 332 terabytes, for internal storage on high-speed fiber channel drives.
However, if customers say, “I have enough capacity, I don’t need more. I’d simply like to take some of your new functionality that other vendors don’t have, such as logical partitioning, storage-agnostic heterogeneous universal replication, your embedded virtualization layer, some of your advanced business continuity technologies and capabilities, and apply that to my existing assets.” The difference is Hitachi Limited can say, ‘That is fine, we can do that!”
As the animation here shows, we can sell the client our Intelligent Virtual Storage Controller, enabling them to effectively connect that controller to all of their existing storage assets, and obtain all that functionality.
So, for example, this has two angles that you can share, and this depends on your external consistency. This renders our competition into essentially submissive J-bots. They essentially become the back-end disk media to Hitachi’s Intelligent Virtual Storage Controller. For customers, this brings value, because all of a sudden they can increase the utilization of their existing disk arrays. They can attach things behind our Universal Storage Platform or Network Storage Controller and, for example, put stored mainframe data on low-cost SATA disk, like many financial institutions are doing. That’s something they could never do before. So we’re talking about a totally different category of storage. We’re talking about the separation of the intelligence, the controller, from the actual disk drives. This also enables customers to purchase disk drives independent of the controller and ride that price curve of disk… price curve of disk drives much better than if they were forced to buy capacity all at once. So we believe we’ve changed the playing field by separating the commodity media disks from the innovation, the USP and NSC Intelligent Control Unit, required to provide storage data and content services, providing total flexibility to customers.
