Universal Storage Platform V Family - Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V Reference Manual

Universal Storage Platform V Family

The Hitachi Universal Storage Platform™ V family, the industry's highest
performing and most scalable storage solution, represents the first
implementation of a large-scale, enterprise-class virtualization layer combined
with thin provisioning software, delivering virtualization of internal and
external storage into one pool. Users realize the consolidation benefits of
external storage virtualization with the efficiencies, power, and cooling
advantages of thin provisioning in one integrated solution.
The Universal Storage Platform V family, which includes the USP V floor
models and the rack-mounted USP VM, offer a wide range of storage and data
services, including thin provisioning with Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning™
software, application-centric storage management and logical partitioning, and
simplified and unified data replication across heterogeneous storage systems.
The Universal Storage Platform V family enables users to deploy applications
within a new framework, leverage and add value to current investments, and
more closely align IT with business objectives.

Oriented Storage Solutions architecture from Hitachi Data Systems. These
