HDS Universal Storage Platform (USP V) Datasheet/Specifications
The Hitachi Universal Storage PlatformTM V delivers proven enterprise-class functionality—virtualization of externally attached storage, logical partitioning, thin provisioning, and universal replication—with the industry’s most reliable, scalable, and highest performing storage system.
Data Storage Systems, Inc. (DSS, Inc.) is a Premiere Channel Partner for Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), providing our customers with un-parralled support and services. DSS, Inc. provides design, implementation/integration, on-site installation and after market support services.

As pressure from government and regulatory agencies for long-term data protection
and retention intensifies, many enterprises are confronted with escalating data growth. They are also challenged to improve application performance and availability, business continuity, and backup windows, as well as to simplify the management of increasingly complex infrastructures.
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V, powered by the Hitachi Universal Star NetworkTM massively parallel crossbar switch architecture, further extends the enterprise-class functionality and performance—virtualization of external storage, logical partitioning, and universal replication—introduced with its predecessor, the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform.

Plus, with Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning software this massive-capacity system further assists storage managers in their mission to simplify storage administration, improve performance, and reduce overall power and cooling costs. Improve utilization and flexibility of legacy systems by aggregating internal storage and externally attached Hitachi and third-party storage systems (EMC, HP, IBM, Sun, and others) into a single, flexible virtual pool.

For configuration options, pricing and availability please allow DSS, Inc. to put together a detailed solution designed to meet your project criteria and earn your business.
