With capabilities well beyond any other storage system, the Hitachi TagmaStore® Universal Storage Platform establishes a new industry category, reaching previously unattainable levels of consolidation and bringing to reality the virtualization of internal and external heterogeneous storage into one pool.

This platform provides a comprehensive set of storage and data services including large-scale virtualization of internal and external heterogeneous storage for application-centric storage area management and simplified and unified data replication. As an integral component of Application Optimized Storage™ solutions, the Universal Storage Platform is the architectural foundation for matching application requirements to different classes of storage.

The Universal Storage Platform will enable you to deploy applications within a new framework, fully leverage—and add value to—current investments, and more closely align IT and business initiatives.

“ESG Lab was impressed by the Universal Storage Platform’s ability to extend software functionality to attached storage systems.”
- Tony Asaro and Brian Garrett, Enterprise Strategy Group
