Hitachi High-Performance NAS (HNAS)
ViON presents the Hitachi NAS (HNAS) Platform, with best-in-class performance and scalability, intelligent file tiering, single namespace, high speed pointer-based snapshots, remote object-based high-speed replication, large 256 TB volumes and up to 16 petabyes of usable capacity.
The HNAS Platform, powered by BlueArc, leads the industry in performance and scalability and delivers the most advanced virtualization framework. This NAS solution is ideal for virtualization, file server/NAS consolidation and protection of highly valuable data, reducing management complexity and total cost of ownership (TCO). The HNAS seamlessly integrates with Hitachi SAN storage, including the Hitachi Command Suite.
It is also ideal for data intensive, performance driven markets such as Life Sciences, Internet Services, Entertainment, Electronic Document Discovery, Government, Education, Oil and Gas, and Electronic Design, enabling customers to minimize processing cycle times and improve productivity.
Combining powerful network attached storage with robust data protection capabilities, the Hitachi NAS Platform is optimized for data backup, restore and protection.
HNAS uses a Hybrid Core Architecture that efficiently consolidates capacity across multiple applications and simplifies storage management for businesses. The unique Hardware Accelerated File system delivers “no compromise” system performance and scalability, while multiple levels of virtualization overcome the complexities of large scale file system management and support popular commercial applications like Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and SharePoint, as well as Oracle, especially within VMware environments.
