As an entry point to our new midrange systems line, the SATA-based Hitachi TagmaStore® Workgroup Modular Storage model WMS100 offers high capacity, easy-to-install data storage ideal for small and midsized business (SMBs). The WMS100 provides the foundation for Application Optimized Storage™ solutions, matching requirements for the cost-effective scalability and performance in a small footprint while maintaining the reliability edge provided by renowned Hitachi engineering. Example? Businesses deploying a first SAN are able to move from inefficient and costly server-internal or server-attached storage to a centralized, easy-to-manage configuration. Or those with fast-growing Microsoft Exchange or database applications can quickly catch up and keep pace.

For larger companies, the WMS100 complements the Hitachi TagmaStore Adaptable Modular Storage, Universal Storage Platform, and Network Storage Controller in tiered storage deployments that require common management tools, nearline backup, and data movement for data lifecycle management applications.
