Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform
Your NameYour Title
The volume of new healthcare data quadruples every two yearsVirtualization is now mainstream with 30% of servers virtualized todayRegulations and laws now require more data to be protected longer
The number of servers in an organization is expected to grow by 50% in 2010
In 2009, more virtual servers than physical servers were deployed
Data grows an average of 30% each year
Data and Information Grow at Extraordinary Rates
Operational costs are more than 65% of storage costs and still increasing
Only 5% of the typical IT budget is available for investment 70% maintains the infrastructure 20% maintains software applications
Large organizations must manage 1,000s of hosts and 10,000s volumes
Application workloads often grow faster than capacity growth does
Equipment is aging and requires costly maintenance contracts
Data centers are running out of space and cooling capacity but funds for expansion are limited
IT’s Ability to React Is Severely Limited
Support operations and always-on business
Leverage existing investments longer
Reduce operational costs without added complexity
Increase utilization and efficiency of storage assets
React to changing business requirements by redeploying services
Turn data into business information and unlock new value
What IT Needs Next
Today’s economy requires organizations and IT to adapt quickly in order to:

How to Transform Today’s Data Center
The only storage architecture that:
Flexibly adapts for performance and capacity
Extends to multivendor storage
Uses a 3D scaling architecture to scale up, scale out, scale deep
Transforms the data center with unique management capabilities
Compared to other enterprise storage:
Realize up to 30% reduction in TCO per terabyte per year
Move to a new storage platform with up to 80% less effort and cost
Achieve 40% reduction in power, cooling and floor space costs
At the heart is a virtualized platform for all data with the ability to manage multivendor environments.
Scale Up
Grow from a small data center footprint – 19” rack
Manage one common pool of resources for more efficient utilization
Dynamically scale for workload performance, adding capacity, connectivity without disruption
3D Scaling Architecture: Scale Up
Business Value
