The Hitachi TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform

The USP is a new category of product that integrates an Enterprise-class storage system with a storage virtualization platform that manages external FIbre Channel (FC) attached storage systems. The USP provides a single point of control to simplify the management of multiple tiers of storage and can manage up to 32 PB (32,000 TB) of total storage from a single pane of glass.

“The [USP] is a new approach combining the centralized intelligence found with fabric-based solutions and the intelligence at the edge provided by the storage controller through a unified platform. At the center of this approach is a next generation storage controller with its own internal storage that also provides fabric-based virtualization services to manage external storage systems on the SAN. This presents a compelling combination of enterprise-class functionality, unprecedented scalability, performance and managed capacity.” ESG Research: Storage Virtualization: A New Compelling and Vision and Approach / July 2004
