Hitachi Data Reduction: 2x Savings Guarantee

INNOVATE

All-Flash Performance With Guaranteed DataReduction and 100% Data Availability

Are you tired of disappointing usable capacity levels after aninstallation? To give you peace of mind about the benefits of

your storage purchase, Hitachi Data Systems guarantees that

you’ll get at least a 2x increase in flash capacity when you use

our data reduction technologies.

If you are unable to store the capacity that we guaranteed,

HDS will deliver additional hardware to meet that 2:1 increase

or credit, at our expense, to fulfill that guarantee. And, if the

data reduction on your system works better than expected,

you’ll enjoy the benefits of additional data storage at no extra

cost. This new guarantee combines with our existing 100%

data availability guarantee to give you industry-leading invest-ment protection.

OVERVIEW

Built From the Ground Up forReal Enterprise Workloads

As business moves faster and

data grows exponentially, IT

faces increased pressure to

keep pace. Infrastructure

performance has to improve,

and at the same time, IT has

to control risks while adding

new services faster than ever.

To meet ever-growing performance and

capacity needs, data centers across the world

are leveraging flash with data reduction tech-

nologies. But many customers are not seeing

the benefits they hoped for as performance

and/or data reduction does not live up to

the hype. Software as a service, large-scale

transaction processing, online transaction pro-

cessing (OLTP), database or online analytical

processing, in particular, can underperform.

That’s because general-purpose flash storage

systems are not designed to handle datareduction and larger I/O tasks concurrently.

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) family

systems, built on the flash-optimized Hitachi

Storage Virtualization Operating System

(SVOS) and integrated Hitachi Accelerated

Flash (HAF), fundamentally change the flash

paradigm. They eliminate the need to make

tradeoffs between performance and improved

capacity efficiency. VSPs with advanced flash

modules (FMDs) deliver inline, hardware-

accelerated compression, so you can answer

business demands for high performance,

ensure predictable sub-millisecond response

times and deliver the lowest effective cost.

Savings Guarantee Overview

Hitachi Data Systems will guarantee that eli-

gible VSP systems (VSP F series or all-flash

configurations of VSP G series), using FMD

DC2 compression, will achieve a system-level

storage efficiency savings rate of 2x (50%) or

greater within the guarantee period.

Which organizations benefit most?

■ Organizations looking to increase efficiency

of their open systems workloads, such as

database and virtual server environments.

■ Organizations that are risk averse and

looking at ways to reduce storage infra-

structure costs.

What are the eligibility requirements for

this program?

■

Purchase of any new VSP (VSP F seriesor all-flash configuration VSP G series)

with flash modules (FMD DC2).

What are the terms of the program?

■ System must run with SVOS v6.4 or later

with FMD DC2 compression enabled.

■ Volume must be thin provisioned using

open systems format (open-v emulation).

■ Coverage is applicable on alphanumeric

application data sets that are not com-

pressed or encrypted.

■ Savings are available on the first VSP with

up to 40 FMD DC2; existing customers

are encouraged to use the HDS compres

sion estimator tool to assess compression

savings.

The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform family provides the

ultimate in enterprise data management.
