For long-distance replication
Specifically, Hitachi Data Systems, a Ciena BizConnect partner, will leverage Ciena’s CN 4200 and CN 2000 platforms as part of its advanced network attached storage (NAS) services, including the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform, powered by BlueArc.
In addition, Ciena's CN 4200 and CN 2000 have been qualified for distance extension with Hitachi Universal Replicator (HUR) and TrueCopy Remote Replication software on Hitachi’s Universal Storage Platform V and Universal Storage Platform VM across the metropolitan area network or wide area network (MAN/WAN).
Ciena’s CN 4200 platform will support long-distance replication for cost-effective, high-bandwidth connectivity for Hitachi’s High-performance NAS Platform to provide customers the ability to synchronously transport high-bandwidth replication traffic between geographically-dispersed environments using Hitachi TrueCopy synchronous replication software. Hitachi customers can also benefit from Ciena’s CN 2000 for cost-effective extension of their business continuance and disaster recovery applications.
“The continued proliferation of file servers and appliances is creating complexity within the storage infrastructure, which requires a dynamic environment that is not just for storage of files, but a true consolidation that can optimize NAS environments,” said Steve TenBarge, vice president, Global Product Marketing, Hitachi Data Systems. “With Ciena’s CN 4200 and CN 2000, our High-performance NAS Platform can help organizations with performance-driven applications consolidate their ever-expanding NAS solutions and simplify the supporting infrastructure while reducing costs and improving data availability.”
Ciena’s CN 4200 has passed a series of interoperability tests for the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform, powered by BlueArc. Under guidance of Hitachi Data Systems and following rigorous testing through the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform testing and validation program, the CN 4200 met all requirements and is authorized as an interoperable platform for mutual customers.
“Storage requirements are growing significantly, and organizations need to bring those costs under control while continuing to provide improved availability and better time-to-change within the data center,” said Mike Aquino, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Ciena. “With our CN 4200 platform, the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform helps users in data-intensive, high-performance computing markets, as well as enterprise customers that need large-scale consolidation, address their high-performance computing storage requirements.
