Hitachi SSDs Shipping in HP 3Ppar

Hitachi Global Storage Technologies announced its 3.5-inch FC Ultrastar SLC-based SSDs are shipping in HP 3PAR F-Class, T-Class and the new P10000 V-Class storage systems for enterprise and cloud datacenters, as well as for SMBss.

Developed in conjunction with Intel, the Hitachi Ultrastar SSD400S SSD family provides value to OEM customers who are increasingly looking for high-performance, high-endurance enterprise-class SSDs for integration into new or existing enterprise storage systems or designs.

HP 3PAR systems are designed for agility and efficiency in virtual and cloud data centers. Whether delivering enterprise IT as a utility service or consolidating massive numbers of virtual machines, the advantages of HP 3PAR’s scalable, secure multi-tenancy, autonomic management and thin technologies are significant. HP 3PAR reduces acquisition and related operational costs by up to 50 percent and increases administrative efficiency up to tenfold.

"Hitachi understands tiered storage needs – from controllers and firmware, to BIOS and operating systems – as well as the importance of delivering the highest data integrity, cost-efficiency and easy system integration," said Brendan Collins, vice president of Product Marketing at Hitachi GST. "We are gratified that HP has chosen to qualify our SSDs for their storage arrays. Other customer feedback has been similarly positive, continuing Hitachi’s legacy of delivering quality products to the market that are fine-tuned to meet the changing needs of the enterprise datacenter and the cloud."

"Most data centers today rely on storage architectures built for the business demands of 20 years ago, not for the scale and unpredictability of today’s virtualized environments," said Peter Slocum, vice president of Engineering, 3PAR, HP. "Hitachi’s new Ultrastar solid state drives for HP 3PAR storage systems deliver the increased reliability, performance, data protection as well as power loss management capabilities that customers demand in mission critical virtualization and cloud data center applications."
