Hitachi Data Systems Corporation (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd., announced a multi-phased strategy to incorporate flash technology across its portfolio of enterprise and mid-range IT solutions.
The company plans to offer a series of integrated flash devices that will be based on a new flash memory management technology developed by Hitachi.
“Up to now, the use of flash media to effectively support the demands of high-performance and time-sensitive cloud-based applications has been limited due to flash memory characteristics and controller performance. These conditions have forced customers to make compromises in cost, capacity and resilience,” said Roberto Basilio, vice president, Infrastructure Platforms Product Management, Hitachi Data Systems. "The new flash memory controller designed by Hitachi lets us bring to market a series of products designed from the ground up to accelerate computing for big data and mission-critical applications and databases."
The Hitachi Data Systems flash roadmap spans across servers, storage and appliances to enable compute acceleration, caching and high-performance storage media use cases.
The new flash memory controller can provide:
Sustained throughput four times greater than current generation solid-state drives (SSDs) that are based on multi-level cell (MLC) technology.
Over than 5 years endurance for enterprise workloads.
Inline zero block compression.
Secure erase functions.
HDS announced the immediate availability of a flash acceleration feature for its enterprise solution, Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP), that enables it to achieve more than 1,000,000 random read IOPS, says a release.
These applications include indexing, OLTP databases, decision support, email and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Later this year, Hitachi Data Systems will deliver more flash-optimized solutions.
