Storage Economics: Hitachi TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform - Economic Justification for the Universal Storage Platform

Overview

The Hitachi TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform is a new class of storage hardware, and its proper deployment can help IT departments save substantial amounts of money. Supporting large-scale infrastructure consolidation, multitier configuration, multitenancy access, and single-pane-of-glass storage management, the Universal Storage Platform fundamentally changes the economics of large-scale storage ownership. The Universal Storage Platform architecture provides for enormous scalability and offers clear linear storage expense savings, by packing more terabytes into every square meter of hardware. However, the full economic impact of the Universal Storage Platform can be assessed only when virtualization capabilities are taken into account.
