Global Services : Storage Reclamation

Hitachi Data Systems Storage Reclamation Service helps companies realize capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expense (OPEX) savings by reducing waste in allocated but unused storage capacity. Our team of expert consultants will uncover allocated space that can be reduced. Where consumption can be deferred, they will design and implement Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning software storage pools, plan and manage server LUN migrations to the Dynamic Provisioning software pools. They will also reclaim the storage space by employing the industry unique Hitachi Zero Page Reclaim facility and produce reports for the reclaimed server storage space.

The Storage Reclamation Service enables the life of existing assets to be extended through higher utilization to deliver clear benefits.

• Enables companies to defer CAPEX for new storage
• Reduces waste through dynamic provisioning
• Improves asset utilization
• Simplifies storage management
   
  • Reduced time and resources required to perform storage provisioning tasks
  • More applications/servers per storage system provide greater levels of consolidation
