Dell Enhanced Servers and Storage With Hitachi GST HDDs
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Wed, May 21st, 2008
More precisely with the new 15,000rpm 450GB enterprise units form the drive maker
Hitachi is driving the new industry metric of 'watts/GB,' as customers are increasingly making decisions based on power profile for the increasing amounts of data that they store. Hitachi’s latest Ultrastar drive clearly raises the bar for the industry with respect to 'green' hard drives, without sacrificing enterprise class performance. The 3.5-inch, 15,000 RPM drives deliver 450GB of storage and a 30 percent improvement generation-to-generation in sequential throughput. They also have 50 percent more available capacity than their 300GB predecessors, but similar low power characteristics. IT managers will benefit from a lower total cost of ownership for enterprise storage, with reduced datacenter footprint and energy usage.
Dell server and storage solutions are designed for businesses seeking maximum performance and availability for email, database and other demanding enterprise applications.
“We are pleased to be the first to ship server and storage systems using high performance 450GB SAS disk drives based on Hitachi's new Ultrastar 15K450,” said Darren Thomas, vice president and general manager, Dell Enterprise Storage. “We selected Hitachi Ultrastar drives for our PowerEdge and PowerVault product families because they have always delivered the performance and rock solid reliability that customers have come to expect from Dell.”
