Hitachi NAS Platform excels in performance and reliability, handling over 100,000 users with stability. It integrates seamlessly with various storage types, supporting mixed NFS/CIFS file services and NAS to NAS replication. Its pricing is competitive, making it appealing for organizations. Scalability is ensured with support for up to eight nodes. Hitachi enhances storage operations and data accessibility, offers valuable data migration features, and provides a complete environment on top of existing SAN infrastructure.
- "The Hitachi storage platform is highly scalable and highly available."
- "It creates a NAS environment on top of Hitachi SAN, which facilitates customers who need NAS protocols along with their existing SAN portfolio."
- "Hitachi NAS has improved my storage operations significantly."
Hitachi NAS Platform needs better QA reporting, improved quota management, and the ability to manage snapshots during replication. Documentation and interface manageability require enhancement. Support for cloud connectivity is absent. Flexibility in file system size management and improved pricing are necessary. There's a desire for a unified storage option without dependency on SAN connectivity. Monitoring tools and power scaling information are insufficient, and cost-effectiveness for mid-range usage is lacking.
- "The Hitachi NAS Platform is too complicated, not simple, and not cost-effective, sometimes being inappropriate for most situations."
- "I would suggest that Hitachi make a NAS box that can work independently, without relying on SAN connectivity."
- "I rated Hitachi NAS a seven out of ten, primarily due to the interface or insufficient improvements in certain areas."
