Hitachi VSP G800

The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G800 is a rack-mountable, modular storage system that supports different FMD DC2 flash storage device configurations with set storage capacities. No hard discs are included in order to consistently deliver low latency host response times and the highest IOP performance across all host connection ports. Dual controllers are present in the storage systems to facilitate communication with a data host. Each controller comes equipped with its own processor, batteries, fans, and dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs). For out-of-band management, each controller also has an Ethernet connection. All hard discs are still accessible to data hosts via a redundant data path through the other controller in the event that the data path through one controller fails. Controllers for storage systems can be changed. Network-attached storage (NAS) modules can be added to the storage system. In addition to the block access offered directly by iSCSI and Fibre Channel I/O modules, the NAS modules also offer file access through CIFS and NFS protocols and block access through the use of iSCSI protocols.
