Mumbai, Apr 30, 2007
Hitachi has announced a trio of new products with 15K RPM Ultrastar 15K300, 7200 RPM Ultrastar A7K1000 and 10K RPM Ultrastar C10K147.
Hitachi's new hard drives target a broad range of enterprise storage systems, from mission-critical and lower duty cycle storage applications to servers. The Ultrastar C10K147 was developed specifically for the high performance, low power requirements of servers.
According to IDC, the industry is expected to experience a fast ramp in shipments from 2.4 million in 2006 to 9.4 million in 2007 as cost, space and low power considerations in data centers drive the need for a transition to SFF. The delivery of the Ultrastar C10K147 is timed to capitalize on and accelerate this increasing demand.
"As the first to market with a full portfolio of small form factor SAS-based servers and storage, HP offers customers innovations that maximize the performance, reliability, power savings and other efficiency advantages of their IT investments," said Ron Noblett, vice president, Shared Technology, Industry Standard Servers and BladeSystem Division, HP.
As businesses and their IT organizations experience the transition to an all-digital world voice, images and video the requirement to capture, store and access such data increases exponentially.
This information is replicated over and over on the Internet, in servers and in data centers all on the backbone of enterprise hard drives.
Hitachi's broad product portfolio allows enterprise customers to create infrastructures with the optimal mix of hard drives that address the performance, power, capacity and cost parameters for the varying storage and data-access requirements that exist in the storage hierarchy.
"HDD suppliers face an increasing number of demands from enterprise data centers ranging from power and cooling, higher performance, less physical space, to higher capacities," said John Rydning, research manager for hard disk drives at IDC.
Hitachi's new Ultrastar hard drives are built upon technology proven for reliability, leveraging the system architecture and electronics of their predecessors.
The 15K300 is the next generation of the popular 15K147, which has been qualified at major enterprise storage OEMs.
The Ultrastar A7K1000 represents the next generation of the Deskstar E7K500, which has become the most popular hard drive for enterprise SATA applications, with demonstrated reliability in the field.
