Issues of high cost, management and resource allocation has been the main concern for most of companies around the world today. Hitachi Data Sytem foresees that 10 key elements that will affect businesses around the globe in 2008 namely, government will implement strict guidelines and legislation upon carbon emmissions, high oil prices and deterioration of US dollar might create global economic uncertainty, structured archived-database storage surpass its capability, storage of data become highly inefficient, disruption of data mobility, rampant usage of control unit of virtualisation storage, service oriented storage that complements Services Oriented Architecture and Services Oriented Infrastructure, convergence of content, file and block based storage services, maximising utilisation storage and widely usage of deduplication technology by eliminating duplicated data in backups.
On the other hand, Mr. Hubert Yoshida, the CTO of Hitachi Data System, provide an alternative insight as how to decrease data storage cost by introducing massive scale consolidation to reduce TCO, accelerate productivity, maximize utilization with virtualization and optimize price as well as performance with tiered storage. Mr. Yoshida also believed that newly enhanced Hitachi Content Archive Platform provides customers new authentication sevices to ensure the secure, long-term preservation and retrieval of valuable information. The new solutions have to be equipped with data protection of content in an unalterable form (WORM capabilities) , open standards to communicate to custom or packaged applications for partners support, no hardware-lock-in for easy migration of storage solutions, leverage existing infrastructure to provide customers easy to install appliance or "archive head" resulting cost savings, ongoing operational savings and simplify management, Deduplication process and Replication for Disaster Recovery.
Mr. Yoshida is well known within the storage industry and he is instrumental in Hitachi's unique approach to storage virtualization which leverages existing storage services. For more information on Hubert Yoshida's viewpoint on virtualization storage, log on to http://blogs.hds.com/hu/
