It's official. The only 3D scaling storage platform has arrived. We have just launched the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform with unique scaling architecture, management and data mobility capabilities that will transform your data center.

The 5 key business benefits of the new Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform are:

1. High Capacity – maximize precious data center space with high levels of storage density and safeguard all of your types of data.
2. Increased Storage Utilization – automate data placement to increase storage utilization and make the most of the IT infrastructure.
3. Scalability – expand to meet increasing workloads through shared-resource architectures while maintaining high performance levels. These platforms adapt to your enterprise's workloads, instead of the other way around.
4. Sustainability – lower operational costs regardless of capacity with efficiency, lower power consumption and reduced cooling requirements.
5. Reduced Management – automate many of the tedious management tasks faced by data center professionals and work across multivendor platforms to reduce staffing requirements and related costs.

Significant efficiency benefits over the Universal Storage Platform V include: twice the performance (verified by Storage Performance Council), 40% more data per square foot, 40% more power efficiency and new capabilities such as automated tiering of data.
