Availability is also valuable, but the price is high, though it's worth the price. My clients use the tiered storage. When there is productive data, it goes in tier one, and copy data goes in tier three or four. Data deduplication in the Hitachi NAS Platform decreases the storage needs for our customers with a ratio of two-to-one or three-to-one. In the new Hitachi NAS Platform, the interface shows performance metrics and all the information that was not shown before, which was the main pain point for the old NAS. I would rate Hitachi NAS Platform a nine out of ten. In terms of performance, it's the best. There are no other NAS as strong, big, and scalable as Hitachi implementation. That flexibility is what big enterprises are looking for, and while the interface was the main problem, it is now fixed.
The Hitachi NAS Platform is too complicated, not simple, and not cost-effective, sometimes being inappropriate for most situations. I would not recommend it, as it's a costly feature addon rather than a standalone solution. I would rate the Hitachi NAS functionality as five out of ten. NetApp is recommended for a unified solution with richer features and scalability, especially for those needing ransomware protection, data availability guarantee, and data loss protection.

You will never find a solution that fits all because every company has different requirements and every company will need to compromise. This is a good product overall. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to get support for the process. It's not a customer-implementable solution if you don't have a Hitachi-certified engineer. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

It is not possible to improve upon this solution. Rather, they should just create a new product to completely replace this one. Overall, this is a good product for what it is, but it is old-school. I would completely renew the product. It works nicely, but I would not recommend it for the same reason that people don't buy old-fashioned clothes. I would rate this solution a five out of ten.
