The Hitachi Universal Storage PlatformTM VM delivers proven enterpriseclass functionality—virtualization
of externally attached storage, logical partitioning, thin provisioning and universal replication in flexible,
cost-effective configurations.
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 VM, 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 ProvisioningTM software this 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.
