Reliable, cost-effective storage For small and mid-sized businesses, Gateway Hitachi GS2040 is an easy-to-use, highly reliable, and cost effective storage system for Microsoft® Exchange Server, VMware, databases and other business applications.

Reduce Management Costs • Hitachi Dynamic Load Balancing Controller automatically reduces controller bottlenecks; it is ideal for

server virtualization environments. • Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning software provides "virtual storage capacity" to eliminate application service

interruptions, reduce costs and simplify administration.

Simplified, Reliable, Integrated Storage • Rely on 99.999 percent data availability. • Minimize disruption and risk with no single point of failure and mirrored cache with battery backup. • Improve administrative efficiencies with wizard-based configuration set-up and provisioning. • Reduce time spent on configuration with solution-ready platforms that are certified and tested with the

leading business applications.

Flexible, Scalable Business Growth • Protect investments to meet the data storage growth requirements of any business with the ability to

scale capacity to 120 TB, performance to 400K IOPS and connectivity up to 512 virtual server ports. • Expand as business grows with easy data-in-place upgrades.

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