Hitachi RAID - Lightning 9900 V Series
Are You Ready to Succeed in the New Economy?
Introducing Hitachi's second-generation intelligent storage systems
with first-rate benefits: Simplified infrastructure and management.Protection for your critical information. Optimized resource utilization. A reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)
and a more rapid return on investment (ROI).
The world’s economy presents all of us with previously unimagined opportunities—and challenges. Both are often accompanied by an abundance of data—billions of transactions and enormous amounts of text, video, graphical, and audio data that are stored, accessed, and transferred every day, and
growing rapidly. But the data itself is just the beginning. Exploiting data for a competitive advantage is what really matters.
Data. Collect, analyze, and transform it into information so that you can make knowledgeable business decisions at lightning speed. Use it to streamline business processes, to more accu-rately
forecast inventory, to better service customers, and move products to market faster—that’s when it becomes the enabler for success.
