Short Description:
Product Analysis of Hitachi's Virtual Storage Platform that was announced Sept
Full Summary:
The HDS Virtual Storage Platform represents a significant upgrade to Hitachi’s virtualized storage architecture. Changes over the earlier USP product in this release include internal processors and the Hitachi Universal Star Network has been replaced by the Hitachi Hierarchical Star Network. Control processors and other components have been upgraded as well. The marketing theme of scale up, scale-out, scale deep embodies the ability of this platform to scale vertically (greater capacities managed by each virtual domain), horizontally (multiple virtual storage domains), and deeply (more third party arrays with greater capacity virtualized behind the VSP controller). Previous generation USP V software-based features and functionality are supported on the VSP.
This document provides an overview and analysis of the Hitachi VSP that was announced in September 2010. HP resells the same product, along with software options, as the HP P9000 Series. HP’s software options have different names and also differ in terms of functionality in some areas.
Competitive monolithic (supports mainframe and open systems attachment) storage system alternatives include the EMC Symmetrix VMAX and IBM DS8000.
For detailed comparison with competitive products please see the SAN High-End Base System Matrix.
