Citrix Compatibility

Adaptable Modular Storage (AMS) 200 is verified to be compatible with:

This entry level model is ideal for small business or branch offices. Configurations scale from 4 to 105 hard drives. The 200 is a great choice for companies or departments that are implementing their first storage area network (SAN).

Flexibility

Multi-protocol support for consolidating storage between two types of server interfaces:

• Adaptable Modular Storage 1000 models have dual protocol support for Fibre Channel and iSCSI host connections
• Adaptable Modular Storage 200 and 500 models have dual protocol support for Fibre Channel and iSCSI host connections

Vertical scaling allows LUNs to span over multiple drive trays

Scalable design to add capacity, connectivity and/or performance as needed

Support for all major open systems operating systems as well as host bus adapter and switch models combinations from major vendors

Availability

• No single point-of-failure, all dual-controller models fully redundant
• Major components hot-swappable
• Battery back-up for cache
• Non-disruptive microcode updates
• Host failover with HiCommand Dynamic Link Manager software
• Multipathing support for Windows (MPIO) and Solaris (MPxIO)
• Supports in-system volume backups and snapshots
• Remote site replication (AMS500 and AMS1000)
• Supports RAID-6 dual parity for highest reliability
• RAID-5, RAID-1 and RAID-1+0 and RAID 0 also supported
• Hi-Track® "call home" service/remote maintenance tool

High Performance

• Cache partitioning to optimize application performance
• Allows up to 1024 virtual ports with Host Storage Domains and 4096 LUNs for concurrent support of large heterogeneous open systems environments
• 4Gbit/sec host Fibre Channel connections
• Four fibre channel loops per drive tray to ensure maximum bandwidth

Security

• Role based access to Adaptable Modular Storage management systems
• Audit logging keeps track of all system changes

BenefitsTiered Storage in a Single Rack

Intermix Fibre Channel disk drives for high performance with SATA disk drives for lower cost bulk storage in the same system

Non-disruptively migrate data within the system and without using host resources

• Move data between tiers of storage
• Move data to match drive types with performance requirements
• Move data between RAID groups to balance workloads

Serves as backend storage for the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform ™ V or Universal Storage Platform VM

Eco-friendly solutions

• Power Savings option that spins down unused or infrequently used RAID groups
• Volume migration to 1000GB, 7200rpm SATA hard drives that provide the lowest energy consumption per GB
• All models are RoHS compliant
