Bigger, better TagmaStore array adds iSCSI support Hitachi Data Systems last week said it has enhanced its largest storage arrays with software and hardware that gives the TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform (USP) a 25% performance boost.
The company has enhanced the microcode and added optional 4Gbit/sec Fibre Channel controllers, iSCSI connections and new load-balancing capabilities among the processors to allow the TagmaStore to operate at 2.5 million I/Os per second.
TagmaStore, which is available in three models -- the USP 100, USP 600 and USP 1100 -- is aimed at large enterprises running applications that process online transactions or consolidating storage and server environments.
The TagmaStore's virtualization capability can manage as much as 32 petabytes of external and internal Fibre Channel, network-attached, ESCON or FICON storage.
