Services Oriented Storage...Services Oriented Storage Solutions for Organizations of All Sizes — Companies Big‚ Small and In Between

From small and medium businesses all the way up to the largest global enterprises‚ many companies’ greatest business asset is their data. As a result‚ the storage‚ security‚ protection and management of that data have become major elements in the equation of business success.

In this data driven environment‚ every company faces the same fundamental questions when it comes to storage:

How can we reduce IT cost and complexity?

How can we increase operational efficiency?

Is there a better way to manage our risk?

In other words‚ most business’ storage problems are the same; they just differ in size. Every organization has to reckon with data protection and business continuity. And every organization – whether it’s tomorrow or several years from now – will eventually have to worry about consolidating storage.

But while the concerns remain the same‚ the technology that addresses those concerns varies depending on the nature and size of the business. Smaller companies without in house storage experts will naturally place a premium on data storage systems that are simple and intuitive to install‚ use and manage. Larger enterprises‚ on the other hand‚ will naturally prioritize the performance and response times of their business critical applications and make available the budget and expertise necessary to support them.

Hitachi Data Systems meets the unique demands of every customer through a full range of Services Oriented Storage Solutions. From specialty solutions like content archiving or storage virtualization‚ to business consolidation or business continuity‚ Hitachi Data Systems can help align storage infrastructure with business requirements so that IT always remains in step with the business as it grows and changes.
