Hitachi to accelerate NAS revenues

BANGALORE:, Hitachi Data Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, has announced a full-scale product assault on the network attached storage (NAS) market, signalling the introduction of multiple new NAS products spanning from high-end enterprise to SMB market offerings. Hitachi begins its NAS product rollout in 2005 with the introduction of next generation embedded NAS Blades for the TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform, products which, at introduction, will sell for one third the price of comparable NAS gateways and filers. With the newly introduced NAS Blades, Hitachi will focus on capturing new NAS gateway and filer sales opportunities, and consolidating all existing NAS gateways and filers in an enterprise environment, says a release.
