Case Study: Foshan University achieves scalable, cost-effective data management with Hitachi Data Systems' Hitachi Unified Storage 130

Foshan University Supports Business Applications With Hitachi Unified Storage Solution

Foshan University needed to modernize its aging storage environment as its campus expanded and unstructured data grew quickly. The university’s business systems — including teaching resources, e-books, HR, OA, library services, and the all-in-one card system — had been running on Hitachi midrange storage, but the existing SAN-only architecture could no longer meet rising demands.

Hitachi Data Systems implemented a unified SAN + NAS solution using Hitachi Unified Storage 130, along with snapshot and cloning software and NAS file-sharing services. Hitachi Data Systems enabled seamless data migration with minimal downtime, improved file-sharing performance and data protection, and delivered a scalable platform with lower TCO that supports future disaster recovery and data lifecycle management.
