Core Message

• AMS2000 storage system – Up to three times the performance of current products

– List price 40% lower

– Intelligence built in to self-manage many of the complex tasks that administrators routinely face

• Accepts IO from any host down any path to any port on any controller at any time without performance penalty and without special host based software

• Automatically corrects controller load imbalances and meet customer SLA’s

– Lower total cost of storage operations

– Reduce storage management complexity

– Energy-efficient power options

– Provides investment protection storage spanning 0.5 TB to 472 TB

Only Hitachi Data Systems’ new modular 2000 family self-monitors the utilization rates of its controllers and will dynamically rebalance the load whenever necessary. This superior ease-of-use combined with outstanding performance means that our customers can get more done in less time with their existing resources, AND avoid the risks and costly mistakes of manual administration tasks.

Innovative Enterprise Architecture

• Designed for reliability, ease of use, and easy expansion

• Easy to connect– Multi-protocol– Can connect to any host with native multi-pathing

and host load balancing• No need to add or maintain any special

host-based core-touching software– No need to specify preferred paths

• All paths are preferred, all paths treated equally

– Easy to maintain – update microcode in seconds by pushing one software button

– Maximizes performance – uses host load balancing

– Maximizes performance - automatic load balancing controllers

• Easy expansion– Can add trays, HDDs, Raid Groups, LUNs, etc

without interruption– Can expand LUNs with restripe– Can expand RG’s with restripe– Can upgrade between models quickly

Data Protection by Design

All writes mirrored between controllers at ultra high speed for data redundancy/protection (we do not have to turn off write mirroring to achieve our industry-leading performance). Cache battery protected, with intelligent UPS support. Cache aggressively flushed.

Microcode kept in many places (copies on first four HDDs, and in both controllers), hot microcode swap, LA/LRC check on each block checked in and out of cache even on SATA-II drives, internal failover, external failover support.

Rapid Failure Analysis

Hi-Track® call-home service

Hitachi Data Systems—first in industry to offer “call-home” (Hi-Track, 1987) protection. All errors reported via Hi-Track, lights, Device Manager, Resource Manager, Web utility, SNMP, buzzer. Errors do not effect user access to data.

No requirement to change paths

Benefits Non-disruptive firmware updates are easily and quickly accomplished.

Firmware can be updated without interrupting I/O.

1)no need to use host path management software, 2)no need to change path from firmware-updating CTL to other CTLs, 3)update takes just a few seconds, 4)just the microprocessor is re-booted rather than the entire controller.

Active- Active Controllers:

During normal operation I/O can travel down any available path to any front end port regardless of what controller the LU is assigned to using the native MPIO capabilities within Windows 2008. Allowing I/O to be balanced over all available paths without impacting performance.Automatic Controller Load Balancing:

If the load on the controllers becomes unbalanced the controllers will automatically balance the load without the host having to adjust it’s primary path.

Symmetrical Active-Active and Load Balancing Controllers: A Powerful combination!

With features traditionally found only in Enterprise class storage arrays the 2000 Family can dynamically balance I/O over any available path through any front end port to either controller. All this is done without having to load any propriety path management software.

Automatic Controller Load Balancing:

If the load on the controllers becomes unbalanced the controllers will automatically balance the load without the host having to adjust it’s primary path.

Power Savings

• AMS 2000 takes full advantage of the power settings

– Unloads heads on SATA-II when drive is not accessed for two hours or more ( 23% savings )

– Can turn off any disk at any time for any length of time

• Uses smart algorithms to minimize HDD busy

– Sequential writes and reads done in massive batches

– Large cache to maximize LOR and to minimize HDD usage

• Automatically varies power to each tray and varies speed of fans for further power savings
