Achieving a Greener Data Center with Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform

Balancing the efficiency and costs of data storage has always been a difficult task for most IT leaders. The enterprise organization relies on data to function, driving a relentless need for data storage. But storage budgets are not rising to meet the continuous data growth that must be managed. New pressures to manage costs and improve profitability in today's unpredictable global economy are forcing many IT departments to further strain storage systems or overallocate or underutilize them, resulting in unintended energy expenditure and poor asset management.

As a global leader and long-time innovator in storage solutions, Hitachi Data Systems has been integrally involved in researching and maturing sustainability practices and technologies intended to help organizations improve environmental IT practices, and the bottom line. One of the most advanced and resilient storage platforms in the industry is the new Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform, standing ready to increase sustainability in the data center.

This paper focuses on how to improve on data center efficiencies and deploy greater sustainability across the IT infrastructure with the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform.
