John Moore shares some details around new private and public cloud storage from Hitachi Data Systems .
“Hitachi Cloud Service for Private File Tiering lets enterprise customers move legacy data from primary networked attached storage (NAS) into a cloud solution. The cloud environment resides at the customer’s site and consists of three main components: Hitachi’s Adaptable Modular Storage systems, Hitachi Content Platform for housing unstructured data, and Hitachi Data Protection Suite software. The latter, provided under an OEM arrangement with CommVault, provides policy-based tiering of data from local NAS filers to the private cloud. A customer could set a policy to move data older than 90 days into the cloud, for example. Hitachi offers public online cloud storage through a partnership with Digi-Data Corp., which provides cloud storage solutions to OEMs. The arrangement lets channel partners provide cloud storage-as-a-service offerings to consumers and SMBs, according to Hitachi. Xu cited online PC backup as an example of a service partners can offer their customers.”
