The Hitachi Content Archive Platform is the latest approach to persistent data preservation. It is designed to seamlessly incorporate into an existing enterprise storage infrastructure; the high-availability, high-performance active archive environment meets an organization’s regulatory compliance requirements. It ensures the secure, semi-permanent preservation and speedy discovery of business records across diverse content types that facilitate precise and well timed responses to audit/discovery audit requests. The consolidation of an evasive, long-term storage environment and content applications is needed to provide a successful active archive solution. The Content Archive Platform satisfies application demands without affecting operations. Storage area network (SAN) solutions incorporate storage and software components into solution templates, which have been broadly tested to provide high accessibility, security and simplicity of management.
The Hitachi Content Archive Platform offers a genuine single archive with no theoretical boundary on how many objects or nodes it can endorse. It is among the most effective digital archiving storage systems available in the market in terms of reliability, scalability and ease of management. It is a full-bodied "active archive" that endows efficient long-term, set-content data preservation for establishments of all sizes.
Hitachi has introduced a first in SAN-based digital archive solutions, the Hitachi Content Archive Platform, which is designed to address the shortcomings of first-generation content-based storage solutions. With built-in protection, authentication and retention capabilities, the platform ascertains that archived content will be continually approachable for years to come. Using the Hitachi Content Archive Platform, Hitachi Data Systems has broadened its tiered storage lineup to include its content-based archive storage solutions as part of the portfolio. It can make use of a tiered storage architecture and complementary storage services to help customers achieve the security, preservation, retention, classification, disposition and retrieval of business-pertinent content. Over time, the usual storage services can be rendered to execute tasks such as replication, heterogeneous data and migration between locations, storage products and environments. With this, the power to report on, monitor and operate the entire Hitachi Data Systems tiered storage base, including the Hitachi Content Archive Platform, from a single management interface reduces controlling expenses and internal service levels.
In addition to support for a desegregated Hitachi Content Archive Platform appliance, the new product release affirms the use of Hitachi Content Archive Platform software and server nodes with installed Hitachi storage systems and shipping, providing a diskless Hitachi Content Archive Platform.
