Press and Analyst

"Although packaged for midrange users, Hitachi Data Systems’ new 3080 and 3090 NAS offerings feature functionality more usually associated with enterprise class systems,” said Mark Peters, a senior analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. “Specifically, the ease of management and the native file tiering capabilities of these products will help them to stand out in a crowded marketplace, whether used standalone or integrated into a Hitachi-managed virtualized and heterogeneous hierarchy.” — Mark Peters, Enterprise Strategy Group
