For small- and midsized businesses, the Gateway Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage 2100 is an easy-to-use, scalable, cost-effective storage system for Microsoft® Exchange Server, VMware, databases and other business applications. It is also a top choice for tiered or standalone storage, consolidation, business continuity, data replication, backup and archiving.

Reduce management, facilities and energy costs
Ideal for VMware environments, the AMS2100's Hitachi Dynamic Load Balancing Controller automatically reduces controller bottlenecks. Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning software provides virtual storage capacity to eliminate application service interruptions, reduce costs and simplify administration.

Simplified, reliable, integrated storage
Being able to rely on 99.999 percent data availability means you minimize disruption and risk. There is no single point of failure, and you get mirrored cache with battery backup. Wizard-based installation and configuration improve administrative efficiencies, and you can centralize and manage multiple systems for greater efficiencies and automate data replication. And configuration takes less time thanks to Hitachi Data Systems' certified, solution-ready platforms. Detailed technical guides assist in getting the best performance and highest scalability possible.

Flexible, scalable business growth
Protect investments to meet the data storage growth requirements of any business with the ability to scale capacity to 236TB, performance to 400K IOPS and connectivity to 1024 virtual server ports. Expand as business grows with easy data-in-place upgrades.

Compliance and data protection
RAID-6 ensures high availability and protection, because any two drives can fail without loss of any data. The Hi-Track® Monitor for 24/7 diagnostics keeps potential issues from becoming problems, and within-system volume replication and incremental copying enable frequent backups. Flexible sparing eliminates the need to copy back after a RAID group rebuild, and audit logging tracks all system changes. Plus, Hitachi Data Retention Utility software protects data from overwrites or erasures for long periods of time.
