Hitachi AMS 2300

The Hitachi AMS 2300 (Adaptable Modular Storage) is a standalone storage system that can be used for data consolidation and high-volume applications. The AMS 2300 is also intended for modular storage for lower-tier data storage, remote office storage, tape displacement solutions, virtual tape, and disaster recovery. The Hitachi AMS 2300 Disk Array supports all Fibre channels, iSCSI, and RAID-6 disc configurations. The HITACHI AMS 2300 can also mix SAS, and SATA disc drives with Flash drives in the same tray. The HITACHI AMS 2300 uses high-density storage trays as a solution, allowing for up to 48 3.5"" discs in a 4U high tray or up to 24 2.5"" discs in a 2U high tray. One rack can accommodate almost 1 petabyte of storage capacity. As more drives are added to the system, the AMS 2300 continues to improve because of the large bandwidth that the SAS architecture provides to the drives. Dynamic load balancing controllers are used by the HITACHI Modular Adaptable Storage 2300 to provide integrated, automatic, front-to-back I/O load balancing. Doing this ensures that both controllers receive an equal share of I/O traffic from hosts to disc drives.
