Reliable, cost-effective storage
For small- and mid-sized businesses, the Gateway Hitachi GS2040 is an easy-to-use, highly reliable, and cost-effective storage system for Microsoft® Exchange Server, VMware, databases and other business applications.
Reduce management costs
Ideal for server virtualization environments, the GS2040's Hitachi Dynamic Load Balancing Controller automatically reduces controller bottlenecks. Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning software provides virtual storage capacity to eliminate application service interruptions, reduce costs and simplify administration.
Simplified, reliable, integrated storage
Being able to rely on 99.999 percent data availability means you minimize disruption and risk. There is no single point of failure, and you get mirrored cache with battery backup. Wizard-based configuration setup and provisioning improve administrative efficiencies, and configuration takes less time thanks to solution-ready platforms that are certified and tested with the leading business applications.
Flexible, scalable business growth
Protect investments to meet the data storage growth requirements of any business with the ability to scale capacity to 180TB, performance to 400K IOPS and connectivity up to 512 virtual server ports. Expand as business grows with easy data-in-place upgrades.
Compliance and data protection
RAID-6 ensures high availability and protection, because any two drives can fail without loss of any data. The Hi-Track® Monitor for 24/7 diagnostics keeps potential issues from becoming problems, and within-system volume replication and incremental copying enable frequent backups. Flexible sparing eliminates the need to copy back after a RAID group rebuild, and audit logging tracks all system changes. Plus, Hitachi Data Retention Utility software protects data from overwrites or erasures for long periods of time.
