Hitachi AMS1000 Demonstrates Support For MS Exchange

Hitachi Data Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, has established a new dimension for midrange storage performance and scalability with the Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage, model AMS1000, in Microsoft Exchange Server Environments. Through the Microsoft Exchange Solution Reviewed Programme (ESRP), Hitachi Data Systems demonstrated that the AMS1000 supports more than 25,000 concurrent Exchange 2007 users.

"The Microsoft ESRP programme is a valuable resource for storage customers planning their Exchange Server 2007 deployments," said Jon Orton, product manager at Microsoft. "Publishing an ESRP solution helps Hitachi Data Systems validate the capabilities of the AMS1000 midrange storage system for Exchange Server 2007."

The Hitachi AMS1000, first introduced in April 2006, enables IT organisations to optimise the performance of and provide secure data access to vital business applications, such as e-mail, ERP, CRM, and databases. The Hitachi AMS1000 can be configured to match an application's performance requirements.
