No storage expertise is required. The installation and configuration software is wizard-driven. You can install the storage system very quickly, without the need for special storage knowledge or tools. After that, operation of the storage system is largely hands-off. Hitachi Simple Modular Storage is designed to run for four years or more without disruption. The unit includes unique and patented technology that you might expect to find only in enterprise systems.

High Availability

To help you keep your data available, Simple Modular Storage is designed to have no single point of failure. In simple terms, this means that multiple things can go wrong and you’re still in business.

Easy Maintenance and proven Hitachi Data Systems Support

If a faulty disk must be replaced, we’ll send a replacement, which you can simply plug into one of the two repair slots. You don’t even have to take out the faulty disk. The system automatically rebuilds the RAID group.

Built-in Data Protection

Data protection tasks can be simplified with the internal capabilities of Hitachi Simple Modular Storage. Hitachi Copy-on-Write Snapshot software quickly replicates data, creating point-in-time snapshot copies of any data volume within the storage system, without impacting host service or performance levels.

Easy Capacity Upgrades

Upgrading to higher capacity is simplified with secure auto-migration functionality. If you need additional capacity, just install and attach a larger Hitachi Simple Modular Storage unit to your existing model. The unique automigration feature will copy your data to the new Simple Modular Storage unit and you are back in business with more capacity.

Seamless Integration

Simple Modular Storage connects to all major servers and operating systems.

Eco-friendly Design

Simple Modular Storage is an eco-friendly product that is fully compliant with RoHS regulations. The system utilises an energy-efficient architecture and high-density drives, which means fewer watts are required to support more storage capacity.
