CSC/Hitachi Solutions

Data storage can become a business nightmare. Growth is becoming exponential, driven by application proliferation, policy and regulatory requirements. Today, storage is more than just heavy metal bogging down your infrastructure, increasing your costs and demanding more of your time. A modernized storage infrastructure is the best way to reduce operating as well as capital expenditures, often by more than 20%.

CSC and Hitachi have developed solutions that merge top performance with seamless data mobility. We will optimize the usage of your storage assets, driving down the cost of your IT infrastructure. We'll help manage your data to ensure it's available, secure and managed efficiently. Our solutions transform storage from an expensive and inefficient part of the infrastructure, to a cost effective business enabler.

• Value Oriented Storage Services (VOSS) - storage assessment and storage economic services that provide the necessary business case - including quantitative models - to help clients understand the pros and cons of upgrading and/or improving their storage infrastructure.
• Dynamic Tiering and Data Management - allows you to configure, manage, and move data across the entire storage pool, including volumes on other vendors' storage systems, from a "single pane of glass.
• Consolidation, Virtualization and Storage Modernization Modernization - places the intelligence in the controller and separates it from the commodity disk components. It enables you to reduce your total cost of storage ownership as you implement an intelligent tiered storage environment, simplify management, migrate or replicate data across heterogeneous storage systems, and extend the life of your existing storage assets.
