OVERVIEW |
Along with diversification of data handled by IT systems and changes in the social environment, needs unlike those conventionally associated with storage systems are arising. As regards the primary needs that have been growing over recent years, the rapid growth in data targeted for long-term storage is often quoted. Consequently, it is becoming necessary to suppress power consumption of IT equipment, ensure data management spanning a long period exceeding equipment lifetimes, provide a means to access that data, and reduce the risk of data leakage by internal wrongdoings. In response to these needs, Hitachi is actively involved in standardization of technologies required for long-term data storage. These activities include research on storage-control technology that combines reduction of power consumption of IT equipment and high performance, a content-reference interface for making migration between long-term-storage systems easy, and stored-data encryption technology.
