Deliver Bottomless, Backup-Free Storage From Your Cloud

Reduce Storage and Backup Costs

  • Cloud storage gateway reduces IT costs and the complexity of file services
  • The gateway connects remote locations to advanced data center storage and management capabilities
  • Centralized file services offer greater control, security and data protection for the customers of cloud service providers

Adapt File Services to the Cloud

Mix Local and Cloud Storage and Simplify File Services Outside the Data Center

  • Hitachi Data Ingestor acts as a caching device to provide remote users and applications with seemingly endless storage
  • The cloud gateway connects remote sites to the data center without application recoding or changes in the way users get their data
  • Support for Server Message Block (SMB) and Network File System (NFS) protocols eases migration from traditional NAS-to-cloud-based file services

SIMPLICITY

Easily Deliver File Services Outside Your Data Center

Fast Deployment, Easy Management

Provide cloud storage services to users or customers by centrally configuring, provisioning and managing file services.

Centralized, Consolidated Cloud Storage

Automatically distribute content and eliminate the need to plan for growth on a site-by-site basis through access to limitless, cloud-scale storage.

Nondisruptive Transformation to Cloud Storage

Users and applications work as they do today while transitioning from traditional file services to REST-based (representational state transfer based) object storage.

DATA PROTECTION

Eliminate Traditional Backup at Remote Locations

No Need for Traditional Backup

Delivers more consistent, cost-effective and reliable data protection compared to tape backups at each remote site.

Eliminate Single-Point-of-Failure Risks
