Hitachi Data Systems' CTO to Speak on ''Separation of Storage Innovation From Storage Commodity'' at Citigroup 12th Annual Global Technology Conference

Posted on: Tuesday, 6 September 2005, 21:00 CDT

Hitachi Data Systems Corporation (NYSE:HIT) Who: Hu Yoshida, Chief Technology Officer, Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, provider of Application Optimized Storage(TM) solutions and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE:HIT). What: Mr. Yoshida will be giving a presentation titled, "The Rationalization of Storage Growth," in which he will outline how growth in storage spending has become irrational for many enterprises, often tracking neither to business performance nor strategic IT needs. He will elaborate on how Hitachi's large-scale, controller-based storage virtualization is enabling a different way to think about storage and data management. Venue: The Citigroup 12th Annual Global Technology Conference, formerly the Smith Barney Global Technology Conference. When: Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2005, 8:40 AM Eastern Time Where: Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers 811 7th Avenue New York, N.Y. 10019 (Advanced registration with Citigroup is required.) Why: Today's IT users are often forced to unnecessarily buy more storage capacity just to obtain the latest features and functionality, since many storage vendors only include the latest functionality with their newest disk arrays. Mr. Yoshida will outline how Hitachi has changed the playing field with its breakthrough large-scale, controller-based virtualization technologies, while competitors continue to focus on building monolithic disk arrays still based on 20th century designs. The Hitachi approach, introduced with the TagmaStore(TM) Universal Storage Platform one year ago and now available in the Network Storage Controller for midsized enterprises, separates the commodity media (disks) from the innovation (intelligent control unit) required to provide storage, data and content services, provides total flexibility for IT buyers to match application requirements to storage attributes.
