Virtual Storage Platform
D elivering on enterprise demands for real-time customer engagement requires more than a fast storage array. It requires an end-to-end approach to data management that leverages both the storage operating system and flash media, to deliver low latency performance even as data levels grow exponentially. Current all-flash arrays (AFAs) rely on performance management to be handled in the array controller along with all other operations, such as data reduction. As data levels increase, they can cause controller bottlenecks, sporadic response times and a poor customer experience. To offset this issue, IT organizations have been forced to make tradeoffs in the number of workloads or amount of data they store on an individual AFA. These decisions result in the need to deploy and support more systems, raising costs and increasing management complexity. Hitachi understands this and has enhanced Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating System RF (SVOS RF), which powers our award-w
