Consumption of Disk Capacity by Data Type

Data Retention Challenges

Data must be maintained across

generations of

technology, applications, data

types, storage and viewing media

Governance of structured and

unstructured data is critical to the

durability of data. It’s not just a

technology answer.

Storage as a Service Infrastructure as a Service

Hitachi Content Platform: Cloud Enabling Features

Large distributed object store for unstructured content

One platform for both enterprise and cloud

– Evolve into cloud at your own pace

– Segregating data securely for privacy and charge-back

Provides multi-tenancy and namespaces

Support Tier 0 through Tier 4 storage

Multi-tenancy, Security and Privacy

• Logical partitioning/safe multi-tenancy

• Access rights and security layers control to prevent unauthorized access

• Immutable media prevents alteration of fixed content

• Encryption helps prevent unauthorized access to data

• Flexible content management policies per Namespace

Hitachi Agile Cloud Delivers:

Reliable

• Data Protection Levels provide 1-4 additional copies of objects stored

• Hardware based RAID in the case of single or multiple drive failures

• Object-based replication enables recovery from alternate locations

Hitachi Agile Cloud Delivers:

Retention Classes

Ability to create classes that define retention duration for groups of objects

– Ability to create and modify retention classes

• Unique retention class name

• Duration (years, months, and/or days)

• Retention class description

– If replication is enabled, retention class will be replicated

– Log when retention classes are added or modified

Enterprise mode (basic) Compliance mode (strict)

Compliance role has ability to:

• Create new retention class

• Modify retention class (increase or decrease

duration)

• Delete retention class

Compliance role has ability to:

• Create new retention class

• Modify retention class (increase duration only)

Disposition Service

Support automatic clean up of objects when retention has expired

– Support auto-pruning (deletion) of expired content

– Only delete objects that meet following criteria:

• Do not have retention hold

• Retention has expired

– Disposition service is enabled/disabled at the namespace level

Configurable Search Indexing

Ability to choose which objects to be indexed for search

– Integrated full content search capability

– Able to enable / disable per Namespace

– Selectively enable indexing / search

– Can be offered to end users as a value-added function
